GitHub/org rendering is routing, not proof. Proof records live in hawkinsoperations-proof, and the current public ceiling remains CONTROLLED_TEST_VALIDATED unless a specific proof record says otherwise. Runtime, signal, public-safe, production, autonomous SOC, AI-approved disposition, and analyst-approved disposition claims remain blocked unless explicitly proven and approved.
| Command center view | Current route | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Six-repo architecture | Repository Authority Map | Repos own separate truth surfaces; no repo may claim another repo's authority. |
| Proof chain | Detection source -> validation -> case packet -> proof record -> public rendering | Public rendering routes reviewers; it does not create proof. |
| Truth surfaces | Six truth surfaces | Source, validation, runtime, signal, evidence, and public rendering stay separate. |
| Front-door/status proof ceiling | SCHEMA_CONTRACT_VERIFIER_EXISTS_ONLY |
Applies to command-center and ledger-status routing; HO-DET-001 proof records keep their own proof ceiling. |
| Current ledger status | Lifetime Case Ledger public summary | 4 ledger events, 4 total cases, 0 public-safe cases, 0 closed cases; ledger status remains NOT_PUBLIC_SAFE. |
| Project operating cockpit | currently visible private org control board route | Canonical private HawkinsOperations Control Board; project number pending Project #1 reclaim closeout; project metadata is not proof, approval, runtime, signal, or public-safe status. |
| Reviewer/demo path | Start Here and Reproducible Reviewer Path | Demo routing does not raise the claim ceiling. |

The private Control Board supports internal governance and navigation. It is not proof, not public evidence, and not a public-safe approval surface.
The private org control board is the operating cockpit for current work visibility. The /projects/2 URL is the currently visible route only, not final canonical project-number truth. It is useful for navigation, queue review, and sprint context only; it does not mutate proof state, authorize merge, approve public wording, or promote public-safe status.
AI can accelerate security work. It cannot authorize the truth.
Without a control system, AI-generated output becomes a public claim, an analyst conclusion, an operational action, a security disposition, and an executive truth — before any evidence or human review ever authorized it.

HO-DET-001 reviewer release package The official, bounded reviewer route for the HO-DET-001 detection: source, validation, case packet, proof record, and the public boundary — packaged as one bounded reviewer ZIP and one GitHub Release.
|
What this release is
|
What this release does not prove. It is a reviewer route and a bounded ZIP. It does not promote runtime-active public proof, signal-observed public proof, public-safe runtime proof, production readiness, SOCaaS, autonomous SOC, AI-approved disposition, or analyst-approved disposition. Website/GitHub rendering is not proof.
The proof-owned Lifetime Case Ledger public summary is a bounded count and boundary route. It currently records:
| Ledger field | Current source-controlled value |
|---|---|
| Total ledger events | 4 |
| Total cases | 4 |
| Public-safe count | 0 |
| Closed-case count | 0 |
| Appended detections | HO-DET-001, HO-DET-011, HO-DET-012 |
| Ledger public-safe status | NOT_PUBLIC_SAFE |
| Ledger proof ceiling | SCHEMA_CONTRACT_VERIFIER_EXISTS_ONLY |
This ledger route does not prove runtime activity, signal observation, production deployment, SOCaaS availability, public-safe runtime proof, public proof, autonomous SOC authority, AI-approved final disposition, analyst-approved final disposition, or case closure authority.
Pick the route that matches your review job. The route changes how you inspect the system; it does not change the proof state.

| Detection engineer | 10 min | Detection source, validation scope, HO-DET-001 path. | detections repo |
| SOC automation lead | 10 min | Case packet flow, deterministic checks, CI boundaries, runtime-contract separation. | validation repo |
| AI governance reviewer | 10 min | Where AI supports labor and where human review authorizes claims. | proof repo |
| Demo reviewer | 8 min | Command-center route, project cockpit, Proof Pack 001, and reproducible reviewer path. | Start Here |
| Cyber Kill Chain reviewer | 10 min | Attack-lifecycle coverage map across source, validation, proof, platform contracts, and blocked claims. | Cyber Kill Chain coverage map |
| Public rendering reviewer | 2 min | Public presentation and reviewer navigation only; rendering does not create proof. | HO-DET-001 proof route |
Org-level reviewer entry point: Cyber Kill Chain coverage lives in hawkinsoperations-proof as a public-safe reviewer map. It is not proof authority.
Each surface supports its own claims, nothing more. Authority does not flow between them by presentation.
| Surface | Supports | Does not assert |
|---|---|---|
| Source truth | A source artifact exists and can be reviewed. | Deployment, runtime behavior, signal observation, or public proof. |
| Validation truth | A deterministic validation process passed inside its stated scope. | Runtime operation, public signal, or external-use authorization. |
| Runtime truth | A control or detection is active in a runtime environment when runtime evidence is reviewed. | Signal observation, evidence linkage, or public-safe proof. |
| Signal truth | A bounded signal was observed in a stated context when signal evidence is reviewed. | Fleet scope, production readiness, or public-safe status. |
| Evidence truth | A preserved artifact supports a specific bounded claim. | Claims outside the evidence boundary. |
| Public rendering | Website and GitHub presentation of reviewed routes and wording. | Proof of any kind. |

Six repositories. Three planes. Authority flows through scoped records, not presentation.
| Plane | Repository | Authority | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governance / routing | .github |
Organization profile, reviewer routing, control summaries. | Routes reviewers; does not prove source, runtime, signal, evidence, or public proof. |
| Authority chain | hawkinsoperations-detections |
Detection source logic and ownership trail. | Source does not prove validation or runtime. |
| Authority chain | hawkinsoperations-validation |
Fixtures, validators, case packets, deterministic checks. | Validation does not prove public runtime or signal state. |
| Internal / private runtime contract | hawkinsoperations-platform |
Runtime contracts, interface boundaries, non-promotional guardrails. | Internal/private runtime-contract route; not a public proof route and not public proof. |
| Authority chain | hawkinsoperations-proof |
Proof records, claim ceilings, evidence boundary records, cited case packets. | Proof records do not publish private evidence or raise ceilings by presentation. |
| Rendering | hawkinsoperations-website |
Public reviewer navigation and rendered wording. | Rendering is not proof and cannot approve a claim. |
Detections → validation → proof feeds the authority chain. .github routes reviewers. hawkinsoperations-platform remains an internal/private runtime-contract route. The website renders receipts; it does not author them.
Public wording passes through boundary review before it ships. Blocked terms stay listed because they describe what this surface does not assert.
Blocked unless separately promoted and approved:
public-safe · production-ready · fleet-wide · live enterprise deployment · autonomous SOC · AI-approved disposition · analyst-approved disposition · runtime-active public proof · signal-observed public proof · evidence-linked public proof · live Splunk public proof · Cribl-routed public proof · Wazuh-routed public proof · AWS-live proof · customer-ready product · sold product · enterprise deployment
Allowed public boundary for this profile:
| Field | Current value |
|---|---|
| Flagship path | HO-DET-001 |
| Public proof ceiling | CONTROLLED_TEST_VALIDATED |
| Public-safe status | NOT_PUBLIC_SAFE |
| Surface mode | RENDERING_NOT_PROOF |
| Promotion authority | HUMAN_REVIEW_REQUIRED |
| Runtime-active public proof | BLOCKED |
| Signal-observed public proof | BLOCKED |
| Evidence-linked public proof | BLOCKED |
| Production / fleet / autonomous claim | BLOCKED |
HO-DET-001 is the artifact reviewers can trace end to end without accepting a stronger public claim.
| Receipt | Review route | What it supports |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Detection source repo | The detection source exists under version control. |
| Validation | Validation repo | Controlled positive and negative test scope can be inspected. |
| Case packet | Validation repo and Proof repo | Case packets are produced/validated in validation and cited/recorded by proof. |
| Proof record | HO-DET-001 proof record | The current public ceiling and blocked claims are recorded. |
| Public rendering | HO-DET-001 public route | Reviewer navigation only; rendering does not create proof. |
Public proof ceiling remains CONTROLLED_TEST_VALIDATED. Public-safe status remains NOT_PUBLIC_SAFE.
HawkinsOps V1 / SignalFoundry metrics are prior operating context only. They are not current HawkinsOperations proof and do not raise the current HawkinsOperations ceiling.
| Prior context | Boundary |
|---|---|
| 324,074 cases processed | Historical V1 / HawkinsOps context only. |
| 200+ detections built | Historical V1 / HawkinsOps context only. |
| 208/208 CI assertions | Historical V1 / HawkinsOps context only. |
| 39.7% reduction measured | Historical V1 / HawkinsOps context only. |
| 100% high-severity preservation | Historical V1 / HawkinsOps context only. |
Current HawkinsOperations claims are bounded by source, validation, evidence, and the public-proof surface.
Repo separation creates review boundaries. Real control comes from required review, deterministic verification, CI checks, proof records, and bounded public wording. The split is necessary; it is not sufficient. Treat the boundary as the artifact, not the architecture diagram.
AI generates work. Evidence and human review authorize claims.
Build loud. Verify hard. Claim tight. Ship receipts.
