Research brief / Security & evidence
Protocol Governance & Verification
Audit, source, version, and supersession rules for keeping a protocol library trustworthy over time.
The research question
What evidence must exist before a tool can read, change, adopt, or publish something?
Inside the work
Separate discovery from permission and attempts from results. Bind important decisions to the actual artifact, preserve the recovery path, and keep limitations visible.
A staged intake system for examining outside artifacts before agents can read them. The SCANGATE project offers a concrete way into this field of research.

This is an overview of the program and its place in the research library. It is not a full paper, a dataset, or evidence of a measured outcome. Where a related project has a tested result or an open limitation, its project page names that boundary.
