# Security engineering — qualification

The distinct qualification record for Security engineering. This page is proposal-only.

Status: **proposed**Lifecycle: **candidate**

## Record status

**Record ID**: job:stan:security-engineering

**Parent lifecycle**: candidate

**Page lane**: qualification

**Lane lifecycle**: proposed

**Owner**: Stan

**Owner role**: Chief Security and Engineering Officer

**Owner status**: VERIFIED

**Qualification result**: NOT RUN · held for evidence and human review

**Working browser surface:** [Agent jobs — builder overview](<https://guthlabs.ai/guth.html#builder>) — Inspect the package and stage a local project. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

## Qualification status

**Result**: NOT RUN

**Disposition**: HELD

**Reviewer**: Not recorded

**Receipt**: Not recorded

This page defines proposed acceptance criteria for the qualification lane. It does not execute tests, establish compliance, qualify the subject, or authorize an effect.

## Outcome definitions

**Verified**: All stated evidence and acceptance requirements passed for the exact reviewed revision; this still does not authorize deployment or an external effect.

**Failed**: One or more deterministic acceptance requirements failed with an inspectable reason.

**Needs review**: Evidence or interpretation is incomplete, conflicting, or awaits an identified human reviewer.

**Held**: Authority, required evidence, safe execution conditions, or a principal gate is absent.

The current record remains NOT RUN / HELD. These definitions describe candidate outcomes only.

## Proposed deterministic acceptance tests

Route-resolution and distinct-content checks apply only to the admitted canonical routes in this record. Held source-proposed extensions are non-resolving proposals and are excluded.

- Given a request without a source locator, qualification fails with status Held and a missing-source reason.

- Given a request naming a principal gate without an approval record, no effect action is emitted and the record remains Proposed or Held.

- Given confidence without explicit authority, the system rejects permission inference.

- Given an attempt to attribute authority to Antonio without supplied evidence, the claim is rejected and recorded as an authority failure.

- Given stale or conflicting evidence, the record identifies the conflict, preserves both revisions, and blocks qualification.

- Given a chronology with missing timestamps or timezone, the record marks the gaps unknown and blocks deadline-based qualification.

- Given credentials, secrets, or unnecessary personal data in evidence, the record requires redaction and excludes the sensitive value from summaries and search indexing.

- Given a private or held record, public documentation routes do not expose it and search respects its visibility scope.

- Given a form error, every invalid field has a text label and actionable error message; status is not conveyed by color alone.

- Given keyboard-only review, every required control is reachable in logical order, focus is visible, and no action requires pointer input.

- Given a screen-reader review, fields have programmatic labels, grouped sections have headings, and approval or failure state is announced as text.

- Given a contrast check, required text and controls meet the selected WCAG contrast check instrument's result; a failed check blocks qualification.

- Given a provider, database, customer, publication, deployment, or credential action is requested, the result is explicitly Held and no production-state claim is recorded.

- Given an interrupted courier, unavailable storage, or failed handoff, the record preserves the last known state, emits a safe retry/escalation instruction, and does not duplicate the effect.

- Given approval is withdrawn or expires, the proposal is Held, downstream drafts remain non-executing, and the receipt ledger records the change.

- Given all required evidence, authority, chronology, privacy, accessibility, and failure tests pass, the result is still a proposal-only qualification; it is not deployment or execution.

## Negative and held-state tests

- Confusing Stan's verified owner status with authority to perform every gated action.

- Manufacturing authority for Antonio or another person not represented in the supplied source record.

- Treating local prototype or indexed routes as connected provider, database, customer, publication, or production features.

- Leaking credentials, incident details, customer data, or private records through notes, search, messages, files, or public documentation.

- Using stale evidence or an incomplete chronology to justify urgent remediation.

- Turning an approval proposal into an external send, deployment, credential change, purchase, legal filing, or destructive remediation.

- Duplicating actions after a timeout or interrupted handoff.

- Allowing deadline pressure to bypass human review.

- Relying on color, hover, animation, or pointer-only controls for security-critical status or approval.

- Publishing doorway documentation or duplicate URLs without distinct useful content.

## Qualification claim boundary

### Potentially allowed only after the stated evidence

- This is a proposal-only qualification package for the Security engineering job.

- The supplied source record identifies Stan as a verified owner agent with responsibility for security, architecture, incident command, and continuity across bounded engineering work.

- The package requires source-bound evidence, explicit authority, chronology, privacy, accessibility, and failure-state checks.

- The supplied native contract describes local or indexed surfaces and states that provider, credential, database, customer, publication, and production effects are held.

- The listed allowed instruments are verified-directory entries only and are designated for bounded educational or provenance-supporting use.

### Still held

- Stan has deployed or operated a production security system.

- Any provider, credential, database, customer, publication, or production connection exists.

- An incident has been contained, remediated, or resolved.

- A principal gate has been approved or executed.

- Antonio has authority.

- A source, checksum, receipt, or chronology has been verified unless the corresponding supplied record explicitly supports that claim.

- Any customer, private, or held record is indexed publicly.

- Any designated native surface is a connected web feature.

- Any instrument result proves operational security, availability, compliance, or production state.
