K05 assurance architecture

K05 Source and Claim Revalidation

Direct answer

K05 assigns every governed report finding an explicit currentness disposition and separately records bounded official-source reviews for the fifteen K04 strategic report additions. It preserves raw report bytes, narrows overbroad interpretations, corrects rulemaking and applicability status, and leaves unsupported time-sensitive claims attributed rather than silently promoted.

Evidence boundary. These records describe architecture, control relationships, test requirements, and legal-source status. They do not certify a facility, authorize a mission, prove deployment, or replace current facility-specific engineering and legal review.

Adjudication rule

Official publication verifies what an authority published at the review time. It does not automatically prove implementation, effectiveness, facility applicability, litigation outcome, classified activity, or every fact repeated in a research report.

K05 report source-group review

OFFICIAL PROGRAM TEXT VERIFIED; GENERAL LEGAL DOCTRINES REMAIN CONTESTED

International cyber law, sovereignty, state responsibility, and the 2026 CE-TCO program

Report. State Authority and International Law in the Era of AI-Driven Cyber Defense and Private Sector Offensive Operations

The August 12, 2026 memorandum was located and confirms a federally controlled participating-company program. Broader report propositions about sovereignty, due diligence, attribution, privateering, and international responsibility remain facts- and jurisdiction-dependent.

Qualification. The memorandum does not settle disputed customary international law or authorize independent private retaliation.

Sources: Expanding Capabilities to Combat Transnational Cyber-Enabled Crime

CONTESTED LEGAL RESEARCH; NO UNIVERSAL CURRENT-LAW CONCLUSION

Anticipatory self-defense, preemption, prevention, contextual imminence, and unable-or-unwilling

Report. The Strategic and Legal Dimensions of Preemptive Force: Global Paradigms and the Mitigation of Emergent Threats

The report's distinctions remain useful research, but K05 did not locate a single current primary source that resolves all claimed doctrines across jurisdictions.

Qualification. Preemption, prevention, imminence, necessity, proportionality, attribution, and third-state sovereignty require a competent facts-specific legal review.

Sources: No direct source record assigned; this is project architecture or an unresolved evidence state.

STRATEGIC RESEARCH RETAINED; EXTERNAL EFFECTS REQUIRE SEPARATE AUTHORITY

Preemptive cyber operations against known threat groups

Report. The Strategic and Legal Dimensions of Preemptive Cyber Operations Against Known Threat Groups: A Global Perspective

The report's active-defense and contextual-imminence analysis remains research. K05 separates internal facility defense from any external surveillance or effects mission and requires a separately approved authority package.

Qualification. No report language creates target status, mission authority, or a general private hack-back right.

Sources: Expanding Capabilities to Combat Transnational Cyber-Enabled Crime

OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS VERIFIED WITH SCOPE NARROWING

U.S. executive initiatives, GOLD EAGLE, and participating-company legal architecture

Report. Domestic Authority and International Responsibility for State-Directed Cyber Operations

EO 14409, the GOLD EAGLE announcement, and the CE-TCO memorandum were located. The participating-company program requires federal control, supervision, deconfliction, package review, written approval and direction, stop procedures, and critical-outcome limits.

Qualification. Official publication verifies policy text, not implementation depth, judicial validity, foreign-law acceptance, or completed operations.

Sources: Executive Order 14409 — Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security · White House Launches GOLD EAGLE Initiative for Cybersecurity Vulnerability Coordination · Expanding Capabilities to Combat Transnational Cyber-Enabled Crime

SCENARIO RETAINED; AUTHORITY AND FORCE CLAIMS NARROWED

Autonomous active defense for microreactor-powered datacenters

Report. The Convergence of AI, Nuclear Power, and Autonomous Active Defense: The Strategic Case for Armed Drones at Microreactor-Powered Data Centers

K05 retains the high-consequence physical-protection problem while correcting the FAA critical-infrastructure petition process to proposed-rule status and separating airspace restriction from actor-specific counter-UAS authority.

Qualification. The public corpus does not endorse autonomous lethal force or infer private authority to jam, spoof, seize, damage, or destroy aircraft.

Sources: Restricting Drones Near Critical Infrastructure Sites — Proposed Rule · 6 U.S.C. § 124n — Protection of Certain Facilities and Assets from Unmanned Aircraft · 47 U.S.C. § 333 — Willful or Malicious Interference · 10 CFR Part 73 Subpart J — Security Requirements at Commercial Nuclear Plants
