Untracking the ops docs broke every reference to them. Repoints or removes
those references across README, architecture, ROADMAP, the archive index,
lifecycle TESTING, the hardening plan, and the security docs — pointing at
the issue tracker where a live task list was meant, and dropping the entry
entirely where it only existed to link an internal file.
Also fixes two pre-existing broken links found by validating every relative
link in the tracked docs:
- README linked docs/OPEN_SOURCE_READINESS.md, which never existed
(underscores vs hyphens).
- reticulum-daemon/README.md linked a local Claude session plan at
../../.claude/plans/enchanted-strolling-rocket.md — outside the repo, and
a path that would have shipped publicly pointing at nothing.
All relative links in tracked markdown now resolve: 0 broken.
audit-secrets.sh still 5/5.

A guide a third-party security auditor can use to verify Phase 10's claims
without trusting our test harness — and that we use ourselves.
Every claim carries four parts, all required: the claim stated falsifiably;
how to REPRODUCE THE DEFECT on the parent commit; how to verify the fix; and a
negative control that must go red on exactly that defect and nothing else. A
test passing on both fixed and unfixed code proves nothing, and reproduce-first
is the step most often omitted in security theatre.
Prefers external checks (curl from another host, tar listing, cross-node file
comparison) over our own tests wherever a claim can be checked from outside.
Tiered by hardware needed: Tier 0 any checkout, Tier 1 running node, Tier 2 ISO
build host, Tier 3 two physical nodes, Tier 4 pre-release gate. Status marked
per claim — verifiable now, pending a plan, or hardware-gated — so an unmarked
absence is never read as a pass.
States what is explicitly NOT claimed (Lightning custody is not air-gappable;
no claim against a compromised kernel CSPRNG or supply chain; KEY-05 is
structural not exploitable), the known-accepted risks with where each was
decided, and carries the C-6 warning that probing with seed.status reports the
surface closed while the real door stands open.
