Release Authority and Update Gates

Supply-chain security baseline

Latticra has guarded CI, dependency, package, artifact, SBOM, update, and runtime-authority rules. Those rules keep release authority closed; they are not production readiness, signed delivery, compliance certification, or external endorsement.

Current Rule

Supply-chain evidence blocks release authority until the release gate is complete.

The baseline records local controls for workflow permissions, pinned actions, checkout credentials, package-manager mutation, dependency review, artifact integrity, SBOM requirements, and update-lane safety. It deliberately preserves no publishing authority, no signing authority, no production installer claim, and no production update claim.

01

Workflow authority

Actions must be pinned, repository permissions explicit and read-only by default, and unreviewed token or secret use blocked.

02

Dependency evidence

New dependencies, bundled binaries, generated artifacts, and vendored material require purpose, ownership, license, and security review.

03

Artifact integrity

Production artifacts require inventory, hashes, SBOM review, signing contracts, recovery behavior, and public non-claim review.

04

Update delivery

The Panel signed-updater delivery gate stays closed until manifest, signature, hash, channel, rollback, validation, and receipt evidence exist.

Current Snapshot

The baseline is present, but release authority is still zero.

These fields are meant to be read as a release blocker: the project has guard rules and source records, not a production supply-chain claim.

Release Gate

Production release wording requires all required evidence.

A release artifact, production installer, production update lane, or internet-facing service needs inventory, SBOM, third-party review, vulnerability review, workflow authority review, signing boundary, recovery behavior, and non-claim review before the wording can change.

Present now

Supply-chain baseline, status record, guard script, CI rules, dependency review rules, and release non-claim language.

Required before release

SBOM, dependency inventory review, KEV/NVD review, integrity hashes, signing authority contract, rollback or recovery contract, vulnerability disclosure path, and production non-claim review.

Denied now

Artifact publication, release signing, release secret access, workflow write-token authority, production installer claims, production update claims, and production security claims.

Authority Baselines

Runtime and updater authority are separate gates, not side effects of packaging work.

Supply-chain review cannot silently grant runtime, update, network, signing, or host authority. Each authority surface needs its own contract, evidence, denial cases, and status alignment.

Baseline

Supply-chain controls

CI, dependency, package, artifact, SBOM, release, and update-lane requirements are guarded by local checks.

Closed

Signed updater delivery

Network self-update and signed update apply remain blocked without signed manifests, artifact verification, rollback, validation, and receipts.

Closed

Runtime authority

Tool execution, host I/O, network opens, MCP invocation, model execution, signing, recovery, boot, and hardware effects remain denied.

Closed

Production claims

No SLSA level, NIST compliance, CISA CPG compliance, external endorsement, production protection, or production readiness is claimed.

Local Commands

Check the guards that hold the line.

These commands validate the public boundary records without publishing, signing, fetching updates, granting secrets, or enabling runtime behavior.
