v0.2.1 — Ethics-First Template Baseline
This release formalizes the repository as a replicable template for audit-ready, governance-driven cybersecurity decision modeling.
What’s new
- Introduced ETHICS.md defining ethics as an enforceable control plane
- Added TEMPLATE-SETUP.md to standardize repository initialization
- Updated README with explicit “Use as Template” guidance
- Preserved audit, validation, and governance structure without expanding scope
What this release represents
- A stable template baseline, not an experimental iteration
- A framework designed to be cloned, adapted, and evaluated
- Ethics treated as a system constraint, not a value statement
Intended audience
- Security leadership
- Detection & SOC engineering
- Risk, audit, and compliance reviewers
If a security decision cannot be explained, validated, and defended months later, it does not belong in this framework.
