Two reviewed knowledge decisions (2026-06-28) + the deferred cosmetic counter, before #59.
1. ISO13485 removed from the incident_management hypothesis. ISO 13485 CAPA / quality-safety incident
handling is NOT security incident management — the mapping was too broad and would seed false
hypotheses for the empirical loop. A dedicated manage_quality_and_safety_incidents capability can come
later IF a target needs it; not forced now. (ISO27001/TISAX/IEC62443 keep incident_management.)
2. patch_policy_doc -> secure_signed_update_distribution stays `partial`, but the curated rationale is
sharpened: "indicates update governance, does not evidence signed distribution" (a patch policy is not
proof of SIGNED distribution). New optional SignalMapping.rationale field carries the curated note.
(github_actions_ci -> SDL and dependency_scanning -> vuln-mgmt reviewed and APPROVED as-is.)
3. Cosmetic (folded in since we touched the file): the silent-intake summary now counts detected and
indications SEPARATELY ("N automatisch erkannt, M Indikation(en)") instead of lumping partial signals
into "automatisch erkannt" — consistent with the three-state model just shipped.
Tests: ISO13485 no longer resolves to incident_management; summary counts split correctly. 29 onboarding
tests pass, mypy --strict clean, demo runs, check-loc 0. Runtime-visible (hypothesis resolution + summary
text) -> deploy + smoke.
Semantic correction of the knowledge base BEFORE the empirical loop (#59) is built — otherwise the
Observation Store would learn from already-misclassified signals. The Silent Pass conflated two kinds of
signal into one: an OBSERVATION ("I saw an SBOM in the repo") and a REQUIREMENT ("a tender DEMANDS an
SBOM"). They were aliased to the same canonical id, so a tender clause read as "SBOM already present" and
suppressed the very question that should have been asked.
Fix — make the kind explicit and authoritative (no new architecture, data + thin wiring):
- `kind` ∈ {observation, requirement} on ProducedSignal (producer may declare) and on the canonical
SignalVocabularyEntry (AUTHORITATIVE — a mislabelled producer cannot collapse the two).
- Vocabulary split: sbom_file_found → sbom_present (obs) + sbom_required (req);
security_txt_or_cvd_policy → cvd_policy_present (obs) + psirt_required (req); add signed_updates_required.
requirement signals are intentionally UNMAPPED in intake_signal_map (they describe a target, not state).
- silent_intake() consumes ONLY kind==observation; requirement signals are preserved in
`requirements_seen` (visible/auditable) but NEVER become a detected capability.
- normalize_signals() stamps the vocabulary's kind onto every IntakeSignal; unknown ids still pass through.
This is the same Observation-vs-Requirement split the Requirements Verification Platform rests on:
observations are reality, requirements are targets, and their comparison is the delta. A tender / OEM spec /
law now produces requirement signals; scanners / repos / documents produce observation signals.
Tests: rewrote the two test_signal_producer cases that previously ASSERTED the bug (tender == repo) to pin
the correct split; regression — `requires_sbom` yields no capability + stays in requirements_seen while
`cyclonedx_found` still detects sbom_creation; endpoint-level regression that a tender requirement does not
auto-detect and the gap stays asked; vocabulary-kind-overrides-mislabelled-producer. 25 onboarding tests
pass, mypy --strict clean, demo runs, check-loc 0. Runtime effect → deploy + smoke. (Fix A; partial-vs-
detected decoupling follows as Fix B before #59.)
Not scanner stubs — the scanners exist. The Silent Pass needs only their UNIFIED output. This adds the
small common DATA FORMAT (not a new module/framework) the user asked for, exactly the Requirement-
Source / MCAP / regulation-alias pattern: many inputs, one language.
Producer A / B / C -> normalize_signals (vocabulary: id + aliases) -> canonical IntakeSignal -> Silent Pass
- ProducedSignal {signal_id, source_type, confidence, evidence, provenance} = what ANY source emits
(website scanner, repo scanner, PDF parser, tender parser, API, the user).
- knowledge/onboarding/signal_vocabulary.yaml reduces producer dialects to a canonical signal: "SBOM
present" arrives as cyclonedx_found / spdx_found / sbom_uploaded / requires_sbom (tender) — all become
`sbom_file_found`. The Silent Pass cannot tell where it came from -> no per-scanner special logic, ever.
- Unknown signals pass through (a new producer stays visible). confidence/evidence/provenance flow to
the detected capability for the audit trail.
A tender that "requires SBOM" now produces the same effect as a repo that HAS one — fits Vision V2
(Requirement Source over Regulation). Endpoint (#58) then has its final shape: POST -> Producers ->
Normalizer -> Silent Pass -> Profile -> Delta -> Questions -> Roadmap. Non-runtime -> no deploy. mypy
--strict clean, 14 onboarding tests pass, check-loc 0.
Not the endpoint yet — the bigger knowledge lever first. The Advisor can say "I need 5 answers" but
does not yet decide what it can find out by ITSELF. The Silent Knowledge Pass runs in front of the
Advisor and, from signals existing scanners/parsers already produce (website, repository, documents,
product data), deterministically derives capabilities the company demonstrably HAS + product facts
that drive scope — so every recognised item shrinks the delta and removes a question.
compliance/onboarding/silent_intake.py: silent_intake(signals, signal_map) -> detected_capabilities
(+ evidence already in hand) + product_facts. The signal->conclusion map is curated DATA
(knowledge/onboarding/intake_signal_map.yaml), signals are injected (scanners are upstream). Pure,
deterministic, no LLM. advisor_start gains detected_capabilities (folded into the profile at HIGH
confidence -> covered, not asked) and an auto_detected result + headline.
The experience flips from a question wall to "we already recognised 4 capabilities, 2 product facts
and have 4 pieces of evidence in hand — only these few remain". Order now: Silent Pass -> #58
endpoint/frontend -> #59 empirical loop. NOT new architecture, just an orchestration step in front.
Non-runtime (no app caller) -> no deploy. 15 onboarding tests pass, mypy --strict clean, check-loc 0.
The learning point is not the hypothesis, it is the QUESTION — and confirmed/refuted is too coarse.
"partial, only critical suppliers" or "certified but not lived" are not "wrong", they are valuable
knowledge. So the chain is Hypothesis -> Question -> Observation -> (Review) -> Hypothesis, and the
observation model must be defined cleanly before any store/API (else thousands of too-coarse
observations get migrated later).
compliance/onboarding/observations.py:
- ObservationType: confirmed / partial / refuted / not_applicable / unknown (richer than binary).
- Observation: {hypothesis_id, capability, question, answer (free text), observation_type,
scope_note ("only critical suppliers"), evidence_uploaded, reviewed, reviewed_by}.
- empirical_distribution() -> a DISTRIBUTION (confirmed 61 / partial 31 / refuted 8), not one %.
- empirical_confidence() -> (confirmed + 0.5*partial) / (confirmed+partial+refuted); n.a./unknown
excluded; None until calibrated.
- REVIEW GATE: only reviewed observations calibrate — a raw answer never changes a hypothesis (no
learning from outliers).
Refactor: the hypothesis is now PURE curated knowledge — the binary observations counter and any
confidence are removed from CapabilityHypothesis and the YAML; confidence is COMPUTED from the separate
reviewed observation stream. Pure, mypy --strict clean. Persistence/aggregation/calibration are 59b/c/d.
Non-runtime -> no deploy. 12 tests pass, check-loc 0.
The bottleneck is knowledge, not the endpoint. This builds the knowledge the Onboarding Advisor needs,
restructured per the user's key insight: NOT "ISO27001 -> 30 capabilities" but each hypothesis as its
own object "capability -> supported_by: [certs]". A capability is written ONCE with all supporting
certs, so the shared management-system core (document control, incident, supplier, audit, access,
asset, monitoring, training, crypto, release, risk) covers most certifications with ~18 hypotheses
instead of ~300 — and multi-certification merges AUTOMATICALLY (a company's inferred caps = every
hypothesis whose supported_by intersects its certs).
Welt-1 throughout: "IF cert present, EXPECT capability (verification required)", never "erfüllt".
Capabilities NO cert suggests (SBOM, signed updates, CVD, support period) have no hypothesis -> they
stay in the delta and get asked. confidence is EMPIRICAL: computed from real-onboarding observations
(confirmed/(confirmed+refuted)), None until calibrated — never an LLM/expert score (record_observation
+ empirical_confidence). The long-term moat: knowledge that learns from reality, not from a norm.
compliance/onboarding/hypotheses.py (resolve_for_certifications / inferred_hypotheses / empirical_
confidence / record_observation) feeds the existing advisor_start unchanged; the demo now runs on the
curated library. Pure, mypy --strict clean, library is DATA (no norm text, no real names). Non-runtime
-> no deploy. 12 tests pass, check-loc 0.
The mature step after Medical is not the next domain but understanding WHY the registry converges.
Three derived views over existing data (no ML, no new architecture):
1. Why converge? — a domain matrix per cross-domain MCAP + a curated REASON (the moat: not "MCAP-X
exists" but "why MCAP-X must exist": software product / supply chain / product operation /
universal process).
2. Capability Families — ~75 MCAPs collapse to ~15 curated families (knowledge/capability_families/
families.yaml), each with the reason it is universal or domain-specific.
3. Core vs Domain — a COMPUTED property (not a new class): Core recurs across >=2 independent domains
AND source types; Domain stays in one. Medical made it obvious (new medical caps are nearly all
Domain; update/SBOM/access/logging are Core).
Non-runtime -> no deploy. 4 tests pass, check-loc 0.
Medical before Payment: the harder scientific test (safety AND security coupled, full lifecycle,
deep risk/evidence demands). ISO 13485 runs through the SAME engine as ISO 27001 -> CRA, only new
data, 0 runtime. The key result: IEC 81001-5-1 (health-software security) pulls in the SAME security
MCAPs as the CRA, so Medical REUSES cyber capabilities (the safety/security coupling appears as
capability reuse) while adding 7 genuinely new medical caps (clinical evaluation, software safety
classification, ISO 14971 risk file, benefit-risk). rejected_assumptions intact.
Effect on the convergence core: secure_signed_update_distribution 18 -> 24 and
technical_vulnerability_management 17 -> 23, now spanning 3 domains (cyber + industrial + medical) —
the core visibly GROWS, exactly the convergence signal.
New 5th report: MISSING CONVERGENCE — deterministic (no ML) token-cluster detector for potential
structural duplications: a name token shared by >=3 MCAPs across >=2 distinct sources is flagged for
EXPERT REVIEW (never auto-merged). Surfaces e.g. the `risk` cluster (6 risk MCAPs across 6 sources)
and `security`/`software`; single-source decompositions are filtered out. Complements Suspicious by
looking at cross-source duplication, not single MCAPs.
Also records the durable modelling rule extracted from the frequency fix: evidence is attributed to
its ORIGIN; its value against a target is computed later (relevance(evidence,target)). Ledger now 8
sources, Architecture Stability 8/8 = 100%. Non-runtime -> no deploy. 29 tests pass, check-loc 0.
Not another domain to prove agnosticism (Environmental did that) but a DIFFERENT property: can the
SAME capability be fed by many overlapping Requirement Sources at once without the model becoming
unstable? Realistic setup — a supplier with ISO 9001 + IATF 16949 + TISAX + ASPICE + CSMS + SUMS
developing an ECU for OEM X. Seven sources (CRA, UNECE R155/CSMS, R156/SUMS, IATF, TISAX, ASPICE,
OEM X) with deliberate overlap, run through the SAME engine (0 runtime code, data only).
Three new measurements (user-requested):
- Capability Convergence: technical_vulnerability_management = 4 sources across 3 source TYPES
(regulation + certification + contract); secure_signed_update_distribution = 4 sources. The
overlap is where the economic value lives ("one capability replaces five evidence worlds").
- Existing-vs-New: 13/27 required caps reuse existing cyber/environmental MCAPs (48%) -> the
registry is starting to converge; the automotive-specific rest (CSMS/SUMS/ASPICE/functional
safety) is expectedly new (a maturity hint, not an architecture break).
- Business Leverage: a convergent capability satisfies N regulations AND unlocks the OEM market —
more convincing to a GF than "satisfies five laws". (Regulatory Leverage counts regulations;
Business Leverage counts regulations + markets/customers.)
Ledger gains the automotive row (0/0, 14 new types, data_only); stability stays 7/7 = 100%. The
verdict recommends the user's next step: NOT a new domain but PAUSE and analyse the registry for the
cross-domain high-convergence core MCAPs. Non-runtime -> no deploy. 12 tests pass, check-loc 0.
First NON-cyber stress test. Every prior journey was cyber (infosec/software/product security).
Environmental brings a completely different mental model (substance flows, emissions, water,
chemicals, energy, circularity). The claim under test: RS-005 carries it UNCHANGED — only new DATA,
zero runtime code.
ISO 14001 (an EMS) is modelled as a Company Profile and run through the SAME engines as ISO 27001 ->
CRA (new pattern transition_pattern_iso14001_to_environmental_v1.yaml, capabilities as VERBS):
- ISO 14001 yields 5 environmental MANAGEMENT capabilities (Welt-1, probably present)
- the concrete substance/emission/water/material EVIDENCE is the 11-capability delta
- rejected_assumptions state what ISO 14001 does NOT produce (substance lists, REACH, emissions,
battery passports, water analyses) — preserving the Welt-1/Welt-2 separation
- the Journey Matcher stays domain-agnostic: ISO14001->Environmental 100%, cyber journeys 0%
Result: a non-cyber domain ran through Reality -> ... -> Journey with 0 new runtime classes and 0
new pipeline — a stronger generality proof than ten more cyber regulations.
Also extends the Architecture Stability ledger with the third KPI column the user requested — "new
capability types" — as a granularity Frühindikator (a domain needing ~80 new types at 0 runtime would
flag a too-coarse/too-fine capability model). Environmental = 16 types (5 mgmt + 11 evidence), in
range. Ledger now flags cyber vs non_cyber family. Non-runtime -> no deploy. 19 tests pass, check-loc 0.
The focus has shifted: no more architecture epics (the Journey Matcher was the last building
block). The question is no longer "can the architecture do this?" but "where does it fail under
real domain knowledge?". This operationalises the two KPIs almost nobody measures, as a non-
runtime, auditable ledger:
- Architecture Stability : per integrated Requirement Source — new runtime classes? new pipeline?
- Knowledge Velocity : can a domain EXPERT integrate a source data-only, without a developer?
A new domain is a ROW in knowledge/architecture_stability/integration_ledger.yaml (data), never a
code change — so the KPI improves by adding data, which IS the proof. Current state: 6 sources
across 5 target types (CRA, MaschinenVO, TISAX, Tender, OEM, Environmental) = 6/6 = 100% stability
and 100% data-only. The pipeline functions are listed honestly as one-time, domain-agnostic
infrastructure (now frozen), so the KPI cannot be gamed.
The test is a LIVING GUARDRAIL: it fails the day a source needs runtime code, surfacing the exact
moment generality breaks. Non-runtime -> no deploy. 5 tests pass, check-loc 0.
5th machinery-safety playbook, capability ce_conformity_assessment_and_technical_
documentation — referenced by the ISO27001->CRA+MaschinenVO transition pattern and
listed as content-missing. Covers MaschVO conformity assessment (Annex XI), technical
file (Annex IV), EU declaration (Annex V) and CE marking; notes the CRA<->MaschinenVO
integrated technical file. status: draft, with canonical_action verb. New file only ->
non-runtime, no deploy, conflict-free ride-along. capability_id unchanged.

Fulfils the board delegation Reasoning -> IACE (line 45): expert FIRST DRAFTS for the
4 MaschinenVO capabilities the Reference-Suite playbook dashboard lists as "content
missing": machine_safety_risk_assessment (ISO 12100), mechanical_safety_and_guards
(ISO 14120/14119/13850/13849), operating_instructions_and_safety_information
(ISO 12100 6.4 / IEC 82079), protection_against_corruption_of_safety_functions
(MaschVO Annex III 1.1.9 = the CRA<->MaschinenVO cyber-safety bridge).
Schema per knowledge/implementation_playbooks/README.md. status: draft (expert draft,

Before the next Journey: the LANGUAGE. With 5 knowledge objects but no vocabulary, the same reise gets
named four different ways (ISO9001->MaschinenVO vs Quality Management->Product Safety vs ...). The spec
answers ONE question: which terms are IDENTITIES and which are REPRESENTATIONS of the same meaning?
- spec docs-src/architecture/domain-vocabulary-spec-v1.md (PROPOSAL): identity hierarchy
(Requirement RQ / Capability MCAP [Registry 2C] / regulation-source-target / Journey Class MJRN
[PROVISIONAL] / Journey instance / Playbook MPLB); canonical name + aliases; capability vocabulary =
the Capability Registry (not rebuilt); reorder Vocabulary -> Transition #2 -> #3 -> Rule of Three.
- knowledge/vocabulary/regulations.yaml: regulation/standard IDENTITIES (id + canonical + aliases).
SOLVES the regulation-ID normalization the KPIs flagged: CRA == "Cyber Resilience Act" == "Regulation
(EU) 2024/2847" all resolve to `cra`; ISO9001/QMS -> iso9001; etc. Shared artifact (@Legal-KG/@Execution
please adopt).
- knowledge/vocabulary/journey_classes.yaml (PROVISIONAL): clusters our transitions into classes
(Information Security -> Product Cybersecurity; Quality Management -> Product Compliance/Safety).
Finding: ISO9001->MaschinenVO is an INSTANCE of an existing class (like ISO9001->CRA, ISO13485->MDR),
not a new kind -> avoids duplication. Journey Class is a new abstraction -> its own Rule of Three (no
MJRN minting yet).
- reference suite: both KPIs now read aliases from regulations.yaml instead of hard-coded maps; the
"Regelwerk-ID-Normalisierung" line flips TODO -> PASS. KPI numbers unchanged (vocab is a superset).
- Side effect = Requirements Intelligence: a Tender "Security Patch Procedure" resolves to MCAP-0017.
7 vocabulary tests (17 with domain programs), check-loc 0. Knowledge data + spec + reference harness =
non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001). No new module, no runtime change, no minting (Freeze).

Customers don't buy "EMV domain"; they buy "we have ISO 9001, help us with the CRA". The sellable
unit of knowledge is the TRANSITION (from -> to), not the law and not the capability. This reframes
the backlog from "model EMV next" to "the top demanded transitions". No new runtime framework (ADR-010).
- knowledge/programs/transitions.yaml: the Operational Knowledge backlog — the ~20-30 actually demanded
transitions (of ~N*(N-1) possible) with priority. ISO27001->CRA, ISO9001->CRA, ISO9001->MaschinenVO
(all 5-star), IEC62443->CRA, TISAX->CRA, ISO27001/IEC62443->NIS2, ISO14001->Umweltrecht.
- Transition Coverage KPI (reference suite, computed-not-stored): per transition a status DERIVED from
the transition-pattern corpus (reviewed/validated/proven -> Gold, draft -> 🟡, none -> ⚪). Honest
current state: ISO27001->CRA ✅ reviewed, ISO9001->CRA 🟡 draft, rest ⚪. Highest-priority gap =
ISO9001->MaschinenVO (the next Track-B work) — a far stronger product indicator than "EMV 30% modelled".
- Three knowledge layers documented: Regulatory -> Operational (transitions/playbooks/deltas, the
biggest differentiator) -> Verification (Vision V2). A domain is a TRANSITION PROGRAM with two tracks:
Track A breadth (model sources, @Legal-KG/@Execution) + Track B product (transitions/playbooks/RTS
per source, @Reasoning).
- ADR-010: the transition is the unit of knowledge; Transition Coverage KPI; three layers; two tracks.
10 program/transition-contract tests, check-loc 0. Knowledge data + ADR + reference harness =
non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001). No new module, no runtime change.

The real bottleneck is domain MODELLING. Phase B is organized as one program with sub-programs per
domain, each run through the SAME 7-stage production line. No new runtime framework, no new module
(ADR-009, Freeze v1.0) — only program data + a derived reporting view.
- Customer enters by INDUSTRY, not regulation: Industry -> Domain Model -> Requirement Sources ->
Requirements -> Capabilities -> ... -> Completeness.
- 7-stage checklist identical for every domain (Domain Model / Requirement Sources / Capability
Registry / Transition Patterns / Playbooks / Reference Scenarios / Completeness) with per-stage
ownership. README generalized to the framework.
- Each domain lists typical_requirement_sources + typical_certifications -> pre-onboarding capability
HYPOTHESIS (the ETO insight; feeds Company 2A as inferred, never confirmed).
- Backlog v1 (by customer value): 1 Industrial Automation, 2 Environmental, 3 Automotive, 4 Medical,
5 Energy. Five domain-definition shells (environmental restructured to the unified shape, law-first
preserved).
- Per-domain KPI is DERIVED from the real corpus (computed-not-stored; sources modelled / transition
patterns / playbooks / reference scenarios), NOT a curated number. Reference suite renders maturity
bars: Industrial Automation 43% (3/7 sources) leads, Environmental 0% (work ahead). Backlog (value)
and KPI (corpus state) are deliberately separated.
- ADR-009: Domain Knowledge Program framework. Honest known refinement: regulation-ID normalization
(CRA vs Cyber Resilience Act) aliased in the KPI.
7 program-contract tests (backlog order + industry-first + derived-not-stored), check-loc 0.
Knowledge data + ADR + reference harness = non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001).

The architecture is stable; from here the value comes from DOMAINS, not more software. Phase B is
organized as law-first Domain Knowledge Programs, each delivering the same production line: Corpus ->
Obligations -> Capabilities -> Transition Patterns -> Playbooks -> Reference Scenarios -> Completeness.
No new runtime framework (Freeze v1.0).
- knowledge/programs/README.md: reusable Domain Program blueprint (production line, per-stage ownership,
law-first ordering, planned programs Environmental/Automotive/IEC62443/Functional-Safety).
- knowledge/programs/environmental.yaml: the Environmental domain as DATA. Law-first: B1 Environmental
Regulatory Corpus (water/chemicals/emissions/energy/waste/product-responsibility — law + obligations
only) -> B2 Capability Model -> B3 Transition Patterns (ISO 14001 -> corpus, built LAST). ISO 14001
is a source state, NOT the domain.
- Ownership handoffs: B1 -> Legal Knowledge, B2 -> Compliance Execution, B3+/playbooks/reference ->
Reasoning. Coordinate via the board; no session builds another's artifacts.
- reference suite: "Domain Knowledge Programs" section renders the program stages + a measurable
Completeness baseline (6 areas, 0 assessed today) that flips automatically as stages land.
- ADR-008: from architecture to domains; Phase B as law-first programs; architecture frozen.
6 program-contract tests (law-first order + ownership pinned), check-loc 0. Knowledge data + ADR +
reference harness = non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001). No new module, no runtime change.

Roadmap item 4. After WHAT applies / WHAT is missing / WHICH first, the GF asks HOW. The
Implementation Playbook renders, for one capability, the full journey — why / which regulations
it closes / tools / process / evidence / controls — and chains the Optimization Roadmap into
per-measure playbooks. Another renderer over the same Capability spine (ADR-003/004), not a new
engine: ~95% of the data already exists, it just needs a different rendering.
- compliance/playbook/: build_playbook() + playbooks_for_plan() (chains optimization -> playbook,
acyclic; reuses leverage for "closes which regulations"). Capabilities without curated content
render as honest status:missing stubs — the content-owed signal.
- knowledge/implementation_playbooks/: curated knowledge layer (Reasoning Knowledge Acquisition),
two deep expert drafts (SBOM, CVD/PSIRT, status draft, expert-draft-not-normative) + README.
The bottleneck is now CONTENT, not software; Playbook (own knowledge) != regulatory domain.
- ADR-004: Implementation Playbooks = renderer + knowledge layer; content is the bottleneck.
- reference suite: "Implementation Playbook" section renders the SBOM journey + Roadmap->Playbook
table (high-leverage caps flagged "fehlt (Inhalt)" — content backlog, highest leverage first).
- refactor: extracted markdown helpers to reference_scenarios/_helpers.py to keep generate.py
under the 500-LOC budget.
9 playbook tests (40 with optimization+transition+company), mypy --strict clean, check-loc 0.
Product code with no app caller + knowledge/ADR/reference = non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001).

Roadmap item 2: the RTS now pin MaschinenVO + convergence Expected Outcomes, so the
convergence USP is a living regression, not just a one-off section.
- RTS-003 (machine + ISMS, networked): full multi-regulation archetype — maschinenvo
expected_delta + convergence expected_multi_target (links TP-ISO27001-CRA-MaschinenVO-v1).
Generator runs the convergence pattern through RS-005: 4/4 machine-safety delta MISSING +
4/4 expected multi-target caps converge. PASS.
- RTS-001 (component): MaschinenVO modeled as `uncertain` (a pure component is usually not a
machine; deciding question is_safety_component) — engine must never assert it applies. Honest,
parallel to the Data-Act handling.
- RTS-002 (machine, QMS-only): MaschinenVO `applies` (is_machine) but LOW convergence — no ISMS
means the cyber side is entirely delta, so few caps are shared. The honest contrast that the
convergence USP rewards companies who already run an ISMS.
- generator: per-RTS maschinenvo/convergence Soll-Ist checks; convergence pattern run once and
reused. Data Act stays `uncertain` everywhere, never asserted.
All 3 RTS PASS. 18 tests (transition+company), mypy --strict clean, check-loc 0.
Non-runtime (knowledge + reference harness) -> no deploy (ADR-001).

The first multi-regulation pattern: each capability declares `covers_targets`, so we
can answer the convergence USP — "which capability satisfies CRA AND MaschinenVO at once?"
- knowledge: transition_pattern_iso27001_to_cra_maschinenvo_v1.yaml (pattern_type:
regulatory_convergence, status draft). The cyber-safety bridge = MaschinenVO Annex III
1.1.9 "protection against corruption" overlapping CRA integrity. 4 convergence
capabilities cover BOTH; 5 CRA-only; 3 MaschinenVO-only.
- product: compliance/transition_reasoning/convergence.py — regulatory_convergence()
pure/deterministic/computed-not-stored, no new graph/class (freeze v1.0 untouched).
No app caller yet -> non-runtime, no deploy (ADR-001).
- reference suite: Cross-Regulation Capability Mapping section renders the customer
sentence "von N neuen Massnahmen erfuellen M gleichzeitig CRA und MaschinenVO".
- README: term -> Regulatory Transition / Convergence Pattern; covers_targets documented.
- tests: test_regulatory_convergence (18 transition+company pass), mypy --strict clean.
Curated expert knowledge, AI first draft (L1/draft) — Annex/Article refs indicative,

Three ANONYMIZED reference transition scenarios (no real company names stored) = canonical
regression scenarios that test the KNOWLEDGE, not just the engine. Each pins an Expected
Outcome (expected_likely_covered + expected_delta); every commit must reproduce it (identical
or better).
- RTS-001 automotive supplier (TISAX+ISO27001) -> CRA: mature ISMS, standard CRA delta.
- RTS-002 classic machine builder (ISO9001) -> CRA: only process discipline -> MUCH larger delta
(10 missing vs 3 covered). New TP-ISO9001-CRA-v1 pattern (different shape).
- RTS-003 networked machine builder (ISMS) -> CRA: highlights the Data Act.
Data Act is modelled as UNCERTAIN (a hypothesis), never a fixed gilt/gilt-nicht: the generator
checks the engine SURFACES the uncertainty + the deciding question (generates_usage_data) and
never wrongly ASSERTS applicability. All three RTS PASS.
Non-runtime knowledge + reference harness -> no deploy (ADR-001). Names deliberately absent.

Transition KNOWLEDGE Patterns (renamed term -- curated knowledge, not an algorithm):
- 4 maturity levels: draft -> reviewed -> validated (domain expert) -> proven (field). "approved"
dropped; target is validated. TP-ISO27001-CRA set to reviewed (L2).
- 3 enrichments per pattern: confidence_source: relationship (curated, not an LLM estimate ->
computed-not-stored); why_asked (customer-facing: why the source does not suffice here); dropped_if
(what makes the question unnecessary). Applied to TP-ISO27001-CRA.
- New TP-ISMS-TISAX (draft): different character -- info-security module mostly covered; delta is
automotive-specific (prototype protection, TISAX labels, VDA ISA self-assessment, ENX assessment,
Art. 28 data protection). Proves the architecture is GENERIC, not CRA-tailored.
- Reference scenario 4 generalized to loop over ALL patterns through RS-005: both carried (CRA
17->17, TISAX 13->13) -> a living genericity + regression test for every future pattern.
Non-runtime knowledge + reference harness -> no deploy (ADR-001). Next: ISO9001->IATF16949.

(1) Harden the first Transition Pattern to the gold-standard template per quality checklist:
versioned transition_goal (ISO27001:2022 -> CRA, applies 2027-12-11), source_state_variants
(certified/isms_introduced/expired/limited_scope), each likely_covered assumption with a typed
relationship (supports|partially_supports, never equivalent) + verification + rationale (the Warum)
+ an auditor-checkable reviewable_claim, delta as missing-capability + needed-info, an explicit
rejected_assumptions section, and a determinism_goal. README schema updated to match.
(2) New Reference-Suite scenario 4 (Transition): the generator READS the pattern YAML and runs it
through the RS-005 Planning Engine + Company 2A -> coverage + question requests. Proves the
architecture fully carries the pattern (17 caps -> 17 coverage + 17 requests; 9 HIGH delta = the
real CRA gaps, 8 probably-covered from the ISMS). Now a living regression test: every future pattern
runs through the same engine.
Non-runtime knowledge + reference harness -> no deploy (ADR-001). Next: ISMS->TISAX once approved.

Reasoning session's new Knowledge Acquisition responsibility (re-charter): build and curate
the Transition Knowledge Base under backend-compliance/knowledge/transition_patterns/ (beside
reasoning/, not under it -- it is knowledge, not an engine).
First professional pattern TP-ISO27001-CRA-v1 (status: draft): separates what a mature ISMS
likely covers at the ORG level (probably_covered, needs product-level confirmation, never
auto-"erfuellt") from the CRA-specific delta with no ISO 27001 analogue (SBOM, support period +
secure signed updates, coordinated vulnerability disclosure, Art. 14 authority reporting,
product cyber risk assessment, CE conformity / technical documentation). Expert draft, not a
normative proof; review_required before customer use.
Non-runtime knowledge -> no deploy (ADR-001). Next: ISMS->TISAX.
