@BrianCLong BrianCLong commented Apr 9, 2026

This pull request implements the initial drafts of the Cognitive Security Manifesto and Threat Taxonomy v1 as standalone, publishable artifacts in the /docs/cognitive-security/ directory.

The manifesto covers the Category Thesis, Core Category Sentence, the shift from probabilistic alignment to deterministic admissibility, and the Messaging Hierarchy. The Threat Taxonomy v1 outlines the four Canonical Failure classes: Corrupted Cognition, Non-Compliant Cognition, Non-Reproducible Cognition, and Non-Admissible Cognition, with definitions, subtypes, and examples for each.

Walkthrough

This pull request updates a GitHub Action reference to use a major version tag, adds two new cognitive security documentation files defining a manifesto and threat taxonomy, and updates the submit.json file structure with new fields.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
GitHub Actions
.github/workflows/ci-attest.yml
Updates the "Generate build provenance attestation" step from a pinned commit SHA to the v1 major version tag for the actions/attest-build-provenance action.
Cognitive Security Documentation
docs/cognitive-security/manifesto.md, docs/cognitive-security/threat-taxonomy-v1.md
Introduces two new documentation files: a Cognitive Security Manifesto defining core principles around AI reasoning structural integrity, and a Threat Taxonomy v1 cataloging four canonical failure classes (Corrupted Cognition, Non-Compliant Cognition, Non-Reproducible Cognition, Non-Admissible Cognition) with sub-types and examples.
Configuration
submit.json
Restructures the JSON payload from a simple status marker to include branch_name and message fields, removing the original status field.

9-77: Add per-class detection and containment fields to improve incident response usability.

Consider adding a compact section per class (Detection Signals, Required Evidence, Containment Action, Recovery Validation). It would make the taxonomy directly usable by SecOps/AI platform teams.

canonical class (Corrupted Cognition, Non-Compliant Cognition, Non-Reproducible
Cognition, Non-Admissible Cognition) containing four standardized headings:
Detection Signals, Required Evidence, Containment Action, and Recovery
Validation, with 1–3 bullet-style lines each to keep entries concise and

across all four classes.

35-43: Define key terms on first use to keep this artifact standalone.

Terms like “Reality Graph,” “Quarantine Graph,” and “Epistemic Immune System” are central but currently implicit. Add brief inline definitions (or links to a glossary) to prevent interpretation drift.

Quarantine Graph (isolated store of unverified cognitive packets)), and ensure
the CSP is labeled as "Cognitive Security Protocol (CSP)" where first mentioned

23-27: Make the three principles testable with explicit acceptance criteria.

These are strong statements, but turning each into concrete MUST-level checks (input/output validation criteria, provenance requirements, graph consistency checks) will make the manifesto operationally enforceable.

Pin the attestation action to an immutable commit SHA (not @v1).

On Line 30, using a moving tag allows unreviewed upstream changes to alter provenance behavior over time. For this security-sensitive step, pin to a full commit SHA.

Suggested fix
-        uses: actions/attest-build-provenance@v1
+        uses: actions/attest-build-provenance@<full_40_char_commit_sha>

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Undefined control term: WriteSet firewall.

WriteSet firewall appears without a definition in this document. Add a short definition or reference so the example is interpretable without external context.
