Research direction

Start with docs/design/SECURITY.md and the Zero Trust control review in ROADMAP.md, then inspect docs/guides/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md for the security-section link. Add the “Impossible vs tedious” rubric, reviewer checklist, examples, and cross-links to the behavioral circuit breaker and emergency containment drafts; run mise //docs:sync when finished.

Description

documentation security

Context: ROADMAP.md → Zero Trust control review

Doc area

Design / architecture (docs/design/)

Describe the issue

Roadmap calls for a standing design test in SECURITY.md: prefer controls that remove capability over friction-only mitigations (rate limits, observe-only DNS). No documented criterion for prioritizing DNS enforcement, credential scoping, and containment vs throttling.

Affected docs

  • docs/design/SECURITY.md (primary)
  • docs/guides/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md (link from security section)
  • ADR candidate if governance wants formal status

Suggested change

  1. Add section "Impossible vs tedious" with decision rubric and examples (DNS enforce mode, credential binding, circuit breaker vs turn caps only).
  2. Checklist for PR reviewers on security-sensitive changes.
  3. Cross-link behavioral circuit breaker and emergency containment drafts.
  4. Run mise //docs:sync after edit.

Other information

  • Lightweight doc issue; no runtime code required.
  • Aligns with ADR-009 security posture themes.
