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

Tasks

T01 - Reconcile The Genesis Inventory

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

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.

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

status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "a43b189a-d1b4-4692-94d7-9c7e140808ca"

Create or reconcile first-class artifacts for:

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

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

T09 - Refresh Relationships, Indexes, And Reports

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

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.
