SecurityV0 · Open questions for the founder

Decisions deferred to the writer / product owner. The tool builds layout; these are the places prose, taxonomy, and scope need a human.

Each row names a decision, the surface it affects, and the reason it cannot be resolved from source material alone.

#QuestionSurfaceWhy it's open
1The posture sentence for Nimbus-prod — one line, names the four stories, states which leads.overview.htmlOnly Sergey's §5 feedback is authored; the posture line is in placeholder state.
2"What Happened" prose for Stories 01 / 02 / 04.brief.html (non-verbatim)Draft pending. Structure is wired; voice is missing.
3"Why it matters" for Stories 01 / 02 / 04.brief.htmlPull-quote slot on the editorial variant depends on this.
4"Am I Exposed?" prose sentences for Stories 01 / 02 / 04.brief.htmlMetrics support a sentence that hasn't landed.
5"Safest first action" verb-led line for Stories 01 / 02 / 04.brief.html + chain.html + ActionTrackerThe tracker currently shows placeholder text for 3 of 4 stories.
6Strategic Context paragraphs for Nimbus-prod.overview.htmlThe "governance decay vs. intrusion" framing needs the founder's voice.
7Path-level narrative ("what this path allows" / "why this path matters") for any chain beyond Story 03.chain.htmlOnly Story 03's chain is authored.

Taxonomy

#QuestionSurfaceWhy it's open
8Is "Standing Authority — Dormant" the right cluster name, or should it split?clusters.htmlCurrently one cluster; Story 04 is its only member.
9Should "Orphaned Sensitive Access" distinguish orphaned-by-offboarding from orphaned-by-departure?clusters.html, drift.htmlDrift row shows owner-loss as a first-class event; cluster taxonomy doesn't.
10Preferred label for the runtime states: "Active / Dormant / Standing" or "Executing / Latent / Reachable"?All surfacesThe pilot uses the first set. UX-GUIDE doesn't commit either way.
11Should supporting paths under a cluster be collapsible or always-visible?clusters.htmlCurrently always-visible, capped at 3 rows with a "+N more" link.

Action + ownership

#QuestionSurfaceWhy it's open
12What counts as "tracked"? Any ticket reference, or only an open PR?ActionTrackerStory 03 demos both; the semantic rule isn't chosen.
13If an action resolves multiple paths, how should the tracker credit them?ActionTracker, chain.htmlChain page says "resolves 2 other paths" — unclear if this is a tracker state or a suggestion.
14Owner model — individual human, team, or rotation?All surfacesCurrent data mixes all three; Strategic Context tile reads "2 of 4 stories have no active owner."

Scope

#QuestionSurfaceWhy it's open
15Should the Overview expose a "by cluster" cut, or is clusters.html sufficient?overview.html / clusters.htmlCurrently the Overview ranks stories only; clusters live on their own surface.
16Drift window — 30 days is the demo default. Production default?drift.html, overview.htmlBoth currently hard-code 30d.
17Print/PDF — should the editorial variant be the default print layout, or conservative?brief.html?print=1Current default is the user's last-selected variant, which may not be print-friendly for conservative.

Form record · round one

One round of focused questions was posed at the start of this pilot. The form timed out, so defaults were taken.

Defaults applied

  • Scope: All surfaces (Overview, Brief, Chain, Clusters, Exposures, Drift)
  • Variants: 3 Brief variants — conservative / balanced / editorial
  • Lead story: Nimbus ops monitor (shell authority) — per Sergey's Apr 10 note
  • Fidelity: Strict token usage from ui/src/index.css — zero arbitrary values
  • Divergence: Mixed — one conservative, one bolder, one editorial
  • UI kit: DESIGN.md baseline ("Deterministic Brief"), pushed editorial
  • Copy source: Sergey's verbatim Apr 10 copy for Story 03; explicit placeholders elsewhere
  • "Am I Exposed?" metrics: Paths reachable · Active vs dormant · Sensitive domains · External egress · Owner status
  • Chain header: 1–2 sentence plain-English summary above the diagram
  • Tweaks exposed: Variant cycling · verbose/terse · header style
  • Interaction: Overview → Brief → Chain wired; cross-cutting list pages linked
  • Demoted/removed from Overview: 7/4/2 KPI strip, footer stat cards, KPI-style drift banner
  • Deliverable: Single HTML prototype with variants as Tweaks + linked pages
