Applicability and claim boundary

This domain defines obligations. It does not prove that a specific repository or run satisfies them.

Applicability
Assess this domain when the authorized workload can affect its capabilities. Resolve every control as required, potentially affected, or not applicable before completion.
Proof level
The accepted formats below identify possible evidence inputs. A format alone does not establish semantic or authoritative assurance; provenance and the commissioned proof contract set the supported level.
Claim boundary
Static controls are requirements, not execution evidence, provider attestation, or proof of production readiness.
