+## What the attack surface here actually is
+
+This repository ships **no executable code** — no package, no pipeline, no CLI. It contains
+normative specifications, example knowledge bundles, and golden fixtures. There is no dependency
+tree to keep patched and nothing here that runs on your machine.
+
+That narrows the realistic reports to three kinds, and all three are worth sending:
+
+1. **A specification that mandates unsafe behaviour.** The specs are binding on the
+   implementations that consume them, so a weak rule propagates. The ingest specification in
+   particular governs a boundary where untrusted external data enters the system: its
+   credential-reference rule (manifests carry *references* to credentials, never the credentials
+   themselves) and its verdict-layer reservation exist for this reason. A gap in that text is a
+   real vulnerability report even though no code changes.
+2. **A secret or personal data in the repository or its history.** The example bundles are
+   synthetic. If you find something that is not, report it — including in the git history, which
+   is public in full.
+3. **A fixture that would make a consuming gate pass when it should fail.** The golden suites are
+   the only ground truth the implementations check themselves against. A fixture that silently
+   sanctions unsafe behaviour weakens every consumer at once.
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+| Version | Supported          |
+| ------- | ------------------ |
+| latest  | :white_check_mark: |
+| < latest| :x:                |
+
+Consumers vendor this repository as a `git subtree`, so a fix here reaches them only when they
+pull. If a report leads to a change in normative text, both reference implementations are
+notified — but their pull is their own action, on their own schedule.
+
+## Scope Note
+
+The portfolio-optimiser method is a **technical framework**. Deploying organizations own their
+own data protection, risk, and compliance assessments (DPIA/ROS). The specifications describe
+technical prerequisites (local-only operation, provenance, no silent egress) but make no
+compliance guarantees.
