It is not a validation report and does not close any finding by itself. ## Risk Severity Vocabulary | Severity | Meaning | | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Medium | Blocks or limits release claims unless the owner session supplies evidence or records a no-claim result. | | Low | Does not block local-first operation, but must be named in release notes or residual-risk wording if unresolved. | | Watch | Needs evidence during final closeout to prevent drift or overclaiming. | ## Risk Matrix | ID | Severity | Area | Risk | Owner | Required evidence | Closeout criteria | Residual-risk wording until closed | | ------------ | -------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | P08-RISK-001 | Medium | Hosted identity | Room-local Worker bearer authority could be overclaimed as hosted account identity, SSO, organization membership, public collaboration safety, or production auditability. | S0804, S0808 | Hosted identity release gate tests and docs; active hosted auth evidence or explicit no-claim release copy. | Release copy either proves active hosted identity end to end or states no hosted identity claim; Worker authority remains room-local only. | Session 08 keeps hosted identity no-claim unless active hosted auth evidence is added. Room-local Worker authority is not account identity or production audit proof. | | P08-RISK-002 | Medium | Trusted erasure | Current cleanup/reset/leave/recovery flows do not erase all release-scoped local, browser, Worker, archive, replay, export, diagnostic, backup, valid spool, workspace, or future hosted state. | S0802, S0803, S0804, S0808 | Storage inventory, protocol contracts, local runtime controls, Worker erasure or no-claim behavior, audit and verification tests. | Every claimed boundary has dry-run, confirmation, execution, idempotency, partial-failure handling, redacted audit, and verification evidence, or is explicitly excluded. | S0808 no-overclaim review is complete; no full trusted unified-erasure or release-grade deletion claim is made. | | P08-RISK-003 | Low | Production-hosted validation | Local, mocked, same-origin, or docs-only evidence could be mistaken for deployed app, deployed Worker, public demo, Cloudflare dashboard, or production-account validation. | S0805, S0808 | Repeatable sanitized smoke scripts/runbooks and deployed target evidence, or unavailable no-claim records. | Production-hosted claims are backed by deployed target results, sanitized output, and residual-risk notes; absent credentials/hosts produce no-claim wording. | S0805 no-network evidence exists; S0808 live production-hosted smoke keeps public demo, Worker, and app-shell claims blocked/no-claim. | | P08-RISK-004 | Medium | War Room erasure | Durable Object room data, authority hashes, idempotency metadata, participant metadata, recent events, and browser hints may remain after browser leave/reset. | S0804, S0808 | Worker/protocol/web tests for erasure authority, idempotency, stale authority, duplicate requests, partial failure, and no-overclaim copy; or no-claim release docs. | Worker room-state deletion is verified for claimed data, or release docs state no trusted Worker erasure claim. | S0804 Worker room-state evidence exists, but browser leave/reset still clears local context only and is not full trusted erasure. | | P08-RISK-005 | Low | Hosted storage and public replay | Reserved Supabase/public replay variables or diagnostics could imply active storage, public pages, retention, takedown, hosted deletion, or RLS readiness. | S0808 | Stable docs and release copy scan; no active claim unless later hosted persistence evidence exists. | Release docs preserve planned/unavailable/disabled wording and do not claim hosted storage/public replay. | Hosted storage and public replay remain planned or disabled guardrails. | | P08-RISK-006 | Low | Analytics | Configured Umami variables or readiness helper states could imply active analytics capture or consent storage. | S0808 | Stable docs and release copy scan; no active claim unless sender/SDK/consent evidence exists in a later session. | Release docs state analytics is disabled by default and no events are sent. | Analytics guardrails exist, but capture remains disabled. | | P08-RISK-007 | Low | Push, remote access, and tunnels | Reserved VAPID/Cloudflare Tunnel variables or hosted operation diagnostics could imply push delivery, remote access, tunnels, or hosted diagnostic agents. | S0808 | Stable docs and release copy scan; unavailable-state evidence remains in docs. | Release docs keep browser notifications local-only and remote operations unavailable. | Web Push, remote access, tunnels, and hosted diagnostic agents remain unavailable. | | P08-RISK-008 | Medium | Mobile and accessibility certification | Phase 06 local browser evidence or automated checks could be overstated as formal WCAG or physical-device certification. | S0806, S0808 | Declared supported surfaces, viewport/browser/input criteria, test/manual evidence, wording review. | Docs distinguish automated evidence, manual review, and formal certification status; unsupported certification claims are removed. | Current evidence is local browser evidence only, not formal certification, physical-device validation, VPAT, or third-party audit. | | P08-RISK-009 | Low | Media release readiness | Conditional public-demo audio/music, portraits, brand/showcase media, generated drafts, unknown provenance, or quarantined historical media could be implied release-ready. | S0807, S0808 | Media gates, provenance checks, quarantine checks, service-worker cache review, sensitive-output scan, docs review, and Session 07 action-record dispositions. | Only assets with source, rights, attribution, optimization, metadata, fallback, accessibility, privacy, and budget evidence are release-ready; Session 07 records conditional or blocked status for all other groups. | S0808 media gates passed; release-ready media remains limited to approved battlefield runtime records. | | P08-RISK-010 | Medium | Legacy decommission | Deleting or reducing `EXAMPLES/`, reports, findings, ignored media intake, copied historical bundles, or `docs/PROGRESS.md` can destroy unique requirements, contracts, risks, provenance conclusions, hashes, or future-work notes. | S0807, S0808 | Final approval matrix, Session 07 action record, stable-doc replacement evidence, sensitive-output scan, affected gate results, and rollback notes. | Deletion/reduction happens only after retained value is preserved and Session 07 records approved disposition; retained or blocked outcomes are acceptable final Session 07 dispositions. | Session 07 records fail-closed outcomes: ignored findings, bundles, reports, and media are retained or blocked; `docs/PROGRESS.md` stays tracked; no additional destructive cleanup is approved by S0808. | | P08-RISK-011 | Low | Sensitive evidence output | Release evidence could leak raw env values, tokens, account ids, zone ids, OAuth values, provider keys, room payloads, prompts, commands, local paths, exports, logs, backups, replay buffers, or quarantined historical content. | S0805, S0807, S0808 | Sanitized scripts/runbooks, secret scan, sensitive-output scan, docs review, ASCII/LF checks, and action-record evidence boundaries. | Evidence uses labels, counts, statuses, booleans, docs paths, hashes, or sanitized summaries only; raw historical values and ignored content stay out of tracked docs. | Session 08 evidence must remain sanitized and keep raw prompts, probes, OAuth values, tokens, copied code, generated provider payloads, sensitive paths, and quarantined media excerpts out of stable docs. | | P08-RISK-012 | Watch | Final release drift | PRD, UX PRD, security posture, considerations, release docs, package READMEs, and phase artifacts can drift after Sessions 02-07. | S0808 | Final docs sync, full gate stack, residual-risk handoff. | Session 08 updates all stable docs and marks release readiness or exact blockers. | S0808 docs sync and residual-risk handoff are complete for implementation closeout; validate should recheck. | ## Residual-Risk Rules Residual-risk wording must follow these rules until the owner session closes a risk: * Name the exact unproven claim rather than implying a broad failure. Example: "No production-hosted validation claim" is clearer than "production is broken." * Distinguish shipped local behavior, optional Worker behavior, planned hosted behavior, disabled behavior, unavailable behavior, and future scope. * Preserve local-first usability when a hosted or production gate is absent. Missing Cloudflare, hosted account, analytics, push, remote, provider, or executor credentials should produce no-claim evidence, not a local workflow failure. * Do not close a risk with documentation alone when the risk requires runtime, deployed, destructive, identity, certification, media, or decommission evidence. * Do not include raw secrets, ids, paths, prompts, commands, room payloads, logs, backups, exports, replay buffers, media drafts, or quarantined historical excerpts in tracked risk evidence. ## Open Finding Traceability | Source finding or blocker | Matrix rows | Owner sessions | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | | `P06-S07-HOSTED-IDENTITY` in `.spec_system/SECURITY-COMPLIANCE.md` | P08-RISK-001, P08-RISK-008 | S0804, S0806, S0808 | | `P06-S07-ERASURE` in `.spec_system/SECURITY-COMPLIANCE.md` | P08-RISK-002, P08-RISK-004 | S0802, S0803, S0804, S0808 | | `P06-S07-HOSTED-VALIDATION` in `.spec_system/SECURITY-COMPLIANCE.md` | P08-RISK-003 | S0805, S0808 | | Phase 04 media release blockers | P08-RISK-009 | S0807, S0808 | | Phase 07 hosted-service disabled/planned/unavailable guardrails | P08-RISK-001, P08-RISK-005, P08-RISK-006, P08-RISK-007 | S0804, S0808 | | Legacy consolidation deletion gates | P08-RISK-010, P08-RISK-011 | S0807, S0808 | Session 08 owns final synchronization of this matrix with security posture and release docs. Closure required the owning session evidence plus Session 08 gate outcomes; documentation alone did not close runtime, deployed, destructive, identity, certification, media, or decommission risks. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
