Governed Reflection Surface

Truth, posture, receipts, checkpoints, and critical workflow visibility without transferred control.

Steward HUD / Panel is the governed companion surface for approved Verity truth state, Security posture, licensed component presence, and unresolved critical workflow visibility.

Core position

The HUD reflects. It does not control.

Steward HUD / Panel is not authority, not protection by itself, not surveillance, not analytics, and not an autonomous repair system. It displays governed state and supports bounded steward action paths without becoming the source of truth, permission, posture, or enforcement.

What it shows

Governed visibility for active systems.

Truth state

Approved Verity truth standing, receipt references, and unresolved verification status.

Security posture

Approved Security Suite posture summaries and containment state references.

Licensed presence

Registered package and component standing without scanning or crawling.

Critical workflow

Orange, Red, and Black conditions remain visible until verified green and steward-cleared.

Checkpoints

Standing checkpoints, package identity, and review context for governed operations.

Bounded requests

Steward actions can be requested, but the HUD does not authorize or execute authority.

Workflow

Critical states stay visible until lawfully resolved.

OrangeAdvisory or degraded condition requiring steward awareness.
RedBlocked, serious, or unresolved posture requiring explicit attention.
BlackCritical condition requiring persistent visibility and strict resolution path.
Verified greenVerity-confirmed resolved state required before manual clear.
Steward clearManual acknowledgement after verified resolution, not before.

Architecture

Herald intake. Verity truth. Security posture.

Boundary

The panel is not a control room.

No authorityThe HUD does not approve, deny, authorize, or override.
No truth creationThe HUD does not create, alter, or adjudicate Verity truth.
No security enforcementThe HUD does not enforce Security policy or mutate containment state.
No scanningThe HUD does not crawl repos, scan folders, or discover systems by itself.
No telemetryThe HUD does not track behavior, profile users, or run external analytics.
No autonomous repairThe HUD does not silently fix, mutate, or rewrite systems.

Companion role

Required companion for licensed packages.

Steward HUD / Panel is the required companion surface for Security Suite and Verity package visibility. It keeps governed truth, posture, checkpoints, and critical workflow state visible without transferring authority, truth, security control, or sovereign source.
