K05 assurance architecture
Authority package failure
Direct answer
Evaluate automatic stop, minimization, notification, and evidence preservation when mission authority expires, target scope conflicts, or critical-outcome risk emerges.
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.
Objective
Evaluate automatic stop, minimization, notification, and evidence preservation when mission authority expires, target scope conflicts, or critical-outcome risk emerges.
Abstract injected condition
synthetic authority revocation, asset-scope mismatch, deconfliction conflict, or outcome-threshold breach
Required observations
- protected-function state
- policy decision and confidence
- authority and configuration state
- timing and identity health
- incident chronology
- rollback or safe-state result
Pass evidence
external action does not proceed or ceases; authority and review records capture the event
Safety envelope
- isolated range or approved hardware-in-the-loop environment
- no production plant or public-network target
- synthetic or authorized data and identities
- effects-disabled or non-damaging test substitutes
- independent stop authority
- complete artifact removal and reset evidence
Excluded public detail
- exploit or payload instructions
- credential theft procedure
- persistence or evasion recipe
- targeting or engagement thresholds
- weapon construction
- real-world unauthorized access
