--- id: NK-WP-0010 type: workplan title: Genesis Security Pattern Completion domain: netkingdom repo: net-kingdom status: done owner: codex topic_slug: netkingdom planning_priority: medium planning_order: 10 created: 2026-05-19 updated: 2026-05-19 depends_on: - NK-WP-0008 unblocks: - NK-WP-0009 execution_repo: infospace-bench infospace_path: infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture state_hub_workstream_id: "f4faf8b4-ae57-40cf-a881-6fe66ca6ad74" --- # NK-WP-0010 - Genesis Security Pattern Completion ## Goal Promote every security architecture and solution pattern explicitly named in `/home/worsch/infospace-bench/infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture/genesis/InitialExploration.md` into a first-class infospace artifact. NK-WP-0008 created the infospace and populated the first NetKingdom pattern set. NK-WP-0010 closes the remaining catalogue gap: no pattern mentioned in the genesis research should remain only as prose inside the source note or as a candidate row in the normalization artifact. ## Context The genesis file names a broad security pattern catalogue across seven families: - identity and access - tenant isolation - Kubernetes and platform - secrets and cryptography - application/API security - supply chain - detection and response NK-WP-0008 already created first-class artifacts for the NetKingdom initial pattern set, including STS credential vending, workload identity, secret zero avoidance, dynamic secrets, short-lived SSH certificates, delegated authorization, break-glass access, tenant isolation, central audit ledger, policy-as-code admission, supply-chain provenance, network default deny, object-level authorization, human/agent identity split, and tenant context propagation. This workplan should complete the literal genesis coverage while keeping the distinction between: - an exact pattern named by the research seed - a NetKingdom canonical pattern - an umbrella pattern that groups several exact seed patterns - a future tutorial candidate for NK-WP-0009 ## Scope In scope: - create or reconcile one first-class artifact for each exact pattern name in the genesis security architecture pattern catalogue - keep existing NK-WP-0008 pattern artifacts, adding aliases or related links instead of duplicating them where an exact seed pattern is already represented - update `artifacts/index.yaml` with source, catalogue, ownership, admission, readiness, index, and report relationships - update `artifacts/generated/research-pattern-normalization.md` so it becomes a completion map rather than a candidate-only map - update the generated index, report, and ownership map - preserve an acyclic, connected infospace graph Out of scope: - writing tutorials; that remains NK-WP-0009 - implementing platform services - resolving every open architecture decision in the pattern artifacts - replacing ADRs or vendor docs ## Genesis Pattern Inventory This workplan targets the exact pattern names in the genesis file: | Family | Patterns | | --- | --- | | Identity and access | Central Identity Provider; Identity Broker; Tenant Membership Boundary; Role Composition; Policy Decision Point / Policy Enforcement Point; Time-boxed Privilege Elevation; Break-glass Access; Human/Agent Identity Split | | Tenant isolation | Namespace-per-Tenant; Cluster-per-Tenant; Cell-based Architecture; Shared Control Plane, Isolated Data Plane; Tenant Context Propagation; Tenant Data Partitioning | | Kubernetes and platform | Secure Cluster Baseline; Policy-as-Code Admission Control; Pod Security Baseline/Restricted; Network Default Deny; Signed Image Admission; GitOps with Guardrails; Runtime Threat Detection | | Secrets and cryptography | External Secrets Operator; Sealed Secret / Encrypted Git Secret; Short-lived Credentials; Key-per-Tenant; Certificate Automation | | Application/API security | API Gateway as Security Boundary; Backend-for-Frontend; Object-Level Authorization Check; Schema-First API Security; Idempotent Command API; Secure File Upload Pipeline | | Supply chain | Protected Main Branch; Dependency Update Bot; SBOM-per-Release; SLSA Build Provenance; Signed Container Images; Quarantined Build Runner | | Detection and response | Security Event Taxonomy; Central Audit Ledger; Tenant Audit Log View; Incident Runbook Library; Kill Switch / Tenant Freeze; Token Revocation Sweep | ## Tasks ### T01 - Reconcile The Genesis Inventory ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T1 status: done priority: high state_hub_task_id: "61160df5-7305-4a0f-a34d-2a763c29eab4" ``` Create a completion matrix from `genesis/InitialExploration.md` that lists every exact seed pattern, current artifact coverage, aliases, canonical NetKingdom mapping, owner, status, and whether a new artifact is needed. Update `artifacts/generated/research-pattern-normalization.md` so it becomes the authoritative inventory for this workplan. ### T02 - Complete Identity And Access Patterns ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T2 status: done priority: high state_hub_task_id: "dad43681-9404-47b8-b58c-39b7218c2542" ``` Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for: - Central Identity Provider - Identity Broker - Tenant Membership Boundary - Role Composition - Policy Decision Point / Policy Enforcement Point - Time-boxed Privilege Elevation - Break-glass Access - Human/Agent Identity Split Existing break-glass and human/agent identity artifacts should be retained and enriched. The PDP/PEP artifact may reference the existing delegated authorization artifact, but the exact seed pattern must be discoverable as a first-class artifact or explicit alias. ### T03 - Complete Tenant Isolation Patterns ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T3 status: done priority: high state_hub_task_id: "dee39f82-aa3a-4824-ba61-7fbdbd5c3d21" ``` Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for: - Namespace-per-Tenant - Cluster-per-Tenant - Cell-based Architecture - Shared Control Plane, Isolated Data Plane - Tenant Context Propagation - Tenant Data Partitioning Ensure these link to the existing tenant isolation and tenant context propagation artifacts without flattening their different isolation strengths and failure modes. ### T04 - Complete Kubernetes And Platform Patterns ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T4 status: done priority: high state_hub_task_id: "19def7b4-4f1a-45ad-b15b-6a56e675be41" ``` Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for: - Secure Cluster Baseline - Policy-as-Code Admission Control - Pod Security Baseline/Restricted - Network Default Deny - Signed Image Admission - GitOps with Guardrails - Runtime Threat Detection Preserve the relationship to Railiance platform responsibilities, admission policy, pod security, image provenance, network segmentation, and detection coverage. ### T05 - Complete Secrets And Cryptography Patterns ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T5 status: done priority: high state_hub_task_id: "622c3bbe-77a7-4049-b6f4-0cd1f54f3783" ``` Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for: - External Secrets Operator - Sealed Secret / Encrypted Git Secret - Short-lived Credentials - Key-per-Tenant - Certificate Automation Link these to OpenBao, secret-zero avoidance, dynamic secrets, STS credential vending, credential bootstrap, tenant isolation, and certificate lifecycle ownership. ### T06 - Complete Application And API Security Patterns ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T6 status: done priority: medium state_hub_task_id: "e792f598-4dfc-4598-ba86-facd13cd8a12" ``` Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for: - API Gateway as Security Boundary - Backend-for-Frontend - Object-Level Authorization Check - Schema-First API Security - Idempotent Command API - Secure File Upload Pipeline Ensure each artifact names where platform responsibility ends and product/application responsibility begins. ### T07 - Complete Supply-Chain Patterns ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T7 status: done priority: medium state_hub_task_id: "a43b189a-d1b4-4692-94d7-9c7e140808ca" ``` Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for: - Protected Main Branch - Dependency Update Bot - SBOM-per-Release - SLSA Build Provenance - Signed Container Images - Quarantined Build Runner Relate these to artifact-store, signed image admission, policy-as-code admission, build provenance, SBOM storage, and release evidence. ### T08 - Complete Detection And Response Patterns ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T8 status: done priority: medium state_hub_task_id: "78a2d242-5a56-40a7-8499-ba7c72150700" ``` Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for: - Security Event Taxonomy - Central Audit Ledger - Tenant Audit Log View - Incident Runbook Library - Kill Switch / Tenant Freeze - Token Revocation Sweep Retain the existing central audit ledger artifact and add explicit patterns for event classification, tenant-visible projections, response playbooks, containment, and credential revocation. ### T09 - Refresh Relationships, Indexes, And Reports ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T9 status: done priority: high state_hub_task_id: "8ec9bc00-1f7b-4f34-b02e-33fdacda9da5" ``` Update the infospace manifest and narrative artifacts: - `artifacts/index.yaml` - `artifacts/entities/security-architecture-pattern-catalog.md` - `artifacts/relations/netkingdom-ownership-map.md` - `artifacts/generated/security-pattern-index.md` - `artifacts/generated/pattern-admission-review.md` - `artifacts/generated/research-pattern-normalization.md` - `reports/initial-security-pattern-report.md` The final graph must remain connected and acyclic. ### T10 - Verify Completion And Feed NK-WP-0009 ```task id: NK-WP-0010-T10 status: done priority: medium state_hub_task_id: "a5449bc6-8529-4350-822b-7c758bf790cb" ``` Run the infospace verification suite: - `.venv/bin/python -m infospace_bench validate infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture` - `.venv/bin/python -m infospace_bench metrics infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture` - `.venv/bin/python -m infospace_bench graph infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture --format mermaid` - `.venv/bin/python -m pytest` Update State Hub progress, mark completed tasks, and add a handoff note for NK-WP-0009 identifying which completed patterns should become tutorials first. ## Implementation Evidence Completed on 2026-05-19 in `/home/worsch/infospace-bench/infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture`. - Promoted all 44 exact genesis pattern names into first-class pattern artifacts or retained exact existing artifacts. - Preserved the nine NetKingdom umbrella/canonical pattern artifacts created by NK-WP-0008 and linked them to the exact seed patterns. - Refreshed `artifacts/index.yaml`, the pattern catalog, ownership map, security pattern index, admission review, normalization matrix, and initial report. - Verification passed: - `.venv/bin/python -m infospace_bench validate infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture` - `.venv/bin/python -m infospace_bench metrics infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture` with snapshot `7bf35f3b`, 69 artifacts, one connected component, zero cycles, coverage `1.0`, and viability passed. - `.venv/bin/python -m infospace_bench graph infospaces/patterns-of-it-securita-architecture --format mermaid` - `.venv/bin/python -m pytest` with 181 passed and 2 skipped. ## Acceptance Criteria - Every exact pattern name from the genesis pattern catalogue is discoverable as a first-class artifact or explicit alias in the infospace. - `research-pattern-normalization.md` shows no unaccounted seed patterns. - The manifest registers all pattern artifacts and relationships. - The generated index and report identify canonical, draft, seed, and promotion-candidate patterns. - `infospace_bench validate` passes. - `infospace_bench metrics` passes viability with one connected component and zero consistency cycles. - NK-WP-0009 has a clear tutorial-priority handoff from the completed pattern library.
