Four bands, derived rather than invented, each of the 27 catalog lanes in
exactly one: Decided (1), Fronted (10), Covered (12), Signposted (4).
The finding is that delegation.mode — introduced by ops-warden WP-0030 to answer
a governance question — predicts operational danger better than the field named
risk. Ten of eleven high-risk lanes are interim, eight of those exec_capable.
Two results that constrain T03 and T04. The three existing controls each cut the
estate differently (1, 13 and 11 lanes) with only 8 in the overlap, so stance is
per control per zone and never per zone alone. And the posture registry shares no
join key with the catalog, so environment posture and M0-M3 compose in principle
but cannot be joined today without inventing a mapping — fabrication under §6.
The residue is the most valuable output: 14 of 27 lanes carry no risk value, and
is_high_risk is risk == "high", so the agent read-boundary never fires for them.
Five are exec_capable. Routed to risk-nexus as RISK-F-0003.
