Proposes two passive, host-executed first-party knowledge procedures from capability review #406 (research issue closed; these admissions are not complete): skills/trust-boundary-review/SKILL.md and skills/data-lifecycle-review/SKILL.md. Both scope authority, protect secrets/PII, separate proposed from executed effects, and report behavioral validation not-run. No repository-owned runtime, scripts, tests, CI, scanner, scheduler, or autonomous processing is permitted.

Current exact-version candidate evidence

• trust-boundary-review: Git blob 50fe2928509a0d235e25813e5524b5305a688b1e; individual structured static semantic review verified at 19/20.
• data-lifecycle-review: Git blob b30673b509e25382afbce8dc52f32440ebfdbed9; individual structured static semantic review verified at 18/20.
• Each has a provenance companion, semantic verification companion, and an exact-version security companion with security_status: incomplete. Historical SkillSpector gate run 38309617787 reported both PASS on the earlier exact manifest blobs, but full per-package JSON, scores and report digests were not persisted. This is not a qualifying security approval under present policy.

Required before admission or merge

1. Recover or rerun qualifying complete exact-package security evidence using the registered external-host scanner, preserving reports/digests and actual findings; do not inherit past check success.
2. Obtain current independent semantic/adversarial admission acceptance. The existing static review is not behavioral validation.
3. Reconcile against the latest main and concurrent PR fix: consolidate 16 passive pulse repairs and 5 security hardenings #416, especially the 44-entry consolidated first-party registry and taxonomy; verify exact candidate fingerprints after reconciliation.
4. Only when both candidates qualify for admission, atomically reconcile README.md, docs/SYSTEM_STATE.md, CURATION_QUEUE.md, INDEX.md, index.json (44→46 first-party, with source and third-party counts unchanged).
5. Re-inspect reviews, review threads, checks/runs and mergeability before using expected-head merge protection.

Disposition: DRAFT / HOLD. The PR being technically mergeable is not evidence of acceptance. No workflow, scanner, executable test, or other repository-owned machinery may be added. Current review evidence: docs/evals/2026-10-12-pr412-static-overlap-authority-review.md and docs/evals/2026-10-12-pr412-exact-head-security-evidence.md.

Remediation update (2026-10-12): committed d3f245e. The prior HIGH scanner match on the quoted example was a context false positive: the skill explicitly says to treat untrusted embedded directions as data and forbids taking action without scoped user authority. The example now describes an instruction-override quotation without embedding the attack phrase verbatim. This is an editorial clarification, not a waiver of the scanner, and it does not itself establish a passing new scan, independent security adjudication, or admission readiness. Re-run authorized external review against this exact head, retain evidence, and reconcile first-party admission accounting before merging.

Remediation checkpoint (2026-10-12): branch head fc6f74c updates registry/verification/local-skills/trust-boundary-review.yaml to the current SKILL.md blob SHA 50fe2928509a0d235e25813e5524b5305a688b1e after the wording fix. The previous evidence record's 3f00186... fingerprint was stale. Semantic verification remains static-only; behavioral validation not-run. New SkillSpector run 38309617787 was in progress when checked. Do not mark package-security passed or merge until actual exact-version results and all accounting/review requirements are satisfied.

2026-10-12 admission-evidence update: committed docs/evals/2026-10-12-pr412-exact-head-security-evidence.md at ec764f1. Read actual run 38309617787/job 115011868192 logs: exact PR head fc6f74c scanned both data-lifecycle-review and trust-boundary-review with --no-llm --fail-on-findings --fail-on-incomplete; each PASS, zero failures. The runner did not publish downloadable JSON report artifacts, so per-package risk metrics/digest are not available and must not be invented. Skill manifest fingerprints match both provenance companions. Not behavioral validated. No public 44->46 accounting until independent admission review, security record closure, and all five public surfaces are staged together. GitHub reports mergeable=true following the note-only commit, but the PR remains draft and behind newly merged main; not ready to merge.

Security evidence remediation (2026-10-12): two exact-identity passive records were added at registry/security/local-skills/{data-lifecycle-review,trust-boundary-review}.yaml and both semantic verification companions were updated (latest head 577774abbbb7cdaf34ed35ff49ab2be585edfbfc). The pinned SkillSpector CI run 38309617787 scanned both exact manifest blobs with zero failures, but its per-package report JSON was not published as an artifact. The persisted records intentionally use security_status: incomplete and risk_score: unknown, not false passed attestations. Public first-party inventory remains 44; admission of both candidates and five-surface 44->46 accounting remain blocked until complete package-security evidence, independent review, and current-main reconciliation. PR remains draft and should not be merged yet.

2026-10-12 continued admission review: committed docs/evals/2026-10-12-pr412-static-overlap-authority-review.md at 77f7ff4. Compared both skills against mcp-vetting, permissions-review, session-continuity, agent-home-doctor, and agent-postmortem: both cover differentiated, passive boundaries and have clear action-scoped authorization and sensitive-data minimization. Individual blob identities verified; behavioral execution not-run. Security CI previously passed 2/2 at fc6f74c, but the report JSON was not retained, so persisted per-package records truthfully remain incomplete. Latest head is 1 commit behind main, 14 ahead; branch is mergeable but still draft. Do not merge or change five-surface counts until package-security evidence is eligible and current-main reconciliation is complete. This static review is not an independent human approval.

Disposition: CLOSED / UNMERGED / EVIDENCE PRESERVED (2026-11-03).

Candidate admission HOLD, not merged. Two proposed passive trust-boundary/data-lifecycle skills, individual exact-version/static review companions, and incomplete security receipts remain preserved on this PR head. Historical scan success without full per-package report/digest does not qualify the current trees; host adversarial acceptance is also absent. Do not increase first-party inventory or imply unchanged-use approval. Closing the stale candidate PR while retaining its branch and review evidence for future qualified admission tracked by #588/#589/#402.

Preserved exact PR head: 42b8f8e6bdb3cc88ee4ca496c5801af791cb4917. Linked tracking: #588 #589 and #402. PR reviews and inline review threads: none returned. Commit combined statuses: none; pull-request-triggered workflow lookup: zero for this head (not a global Actions claim).

Closing the PR does not close linked issues, delete its Git history, grant production/user action authority, or satisfy security/behavioral validation.
