docs/compliance-audit-2026-04-10.adoc is a frozen snapshot ("do not update it"). Its aerie row calls /tmp/aerie.pid a "standard-compliant predictable name", which was only true of the 2026-04-10 standard.

This PR leaves every frozen row untouched. It adds a dated erratum under the banner saying that, under the current launcher-standard_praxis.deed (#62; canonical copy in hyperpolymath/standards#1076), a /tmp or $TMPDIR pid file is non-compliant (CWE-377). The row therefore stops being citable as precedent.

Part C3 of the launcher /tmp cure.

The 2026-04-10 audit is a frozen snapshot, so its rows stay untouched.
A dated erratum under the banner stops the aerie row ("standard-compliant
predictable name") being cited as precedent now that the standard puts
pid files under XDG_RUNTIME_DIR / XDG_STATE_HOME and never /tmp.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added an erratum clarifying that the aerie row’s PID-file configuration met the 2026-04-10 standard but does not comply with the current standard. It also explains the security risk and notes that the row is not precedent for current assessments.

Walkthrough

The audit document adds an erratum. It distinguishes the aerie row’s classification under the 2026-04-10 standard from the current standard for PID files in /tmp and $TMPDIR.

Changes

Compliance audit erratum

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clarify PID-file classification
docs/compliance-audit-2026-04-10.adoc
The erratum states that predictable PID-file names in world-writable temporary directories are non-compliant under the current standard. It also states that the aerie row is not precedent for that standard.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 00575

The erratum clarifies that /tmp and $TMPDIR PID files violate current policy and that the audit row is not current precedent. The available repository evidence does not establish whether the row complied with the April 10 standard, but also does not demonstrate an error requiring a merge hold.

Architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 00575

  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/compliance-audit-2026-04-10.adoc: Adds an erratum distinguishing the aerie PID-file classification under the 2026-04-10 standard from the current standard: /tmp and $TMPDIR PID files are now classified as non-compliant due to the risk of another user choosing the PID killed by stop; the aerie row is not precedent.

A rabbit reads the audit page
And marks the erratum with care
The PID-file rule is now made clear
The old row stays in its own time
Then off it hops beneath the moon
