Stable Orbit
Operational Security and Resilience for Long-Running Systems
Getting to orbit is engineering. Staying there is doctrine. Volume IV is the operations manual for the AI-assisted system that survives the second year, the third compliance audit, and the engineer who built it walking out the door.

Inside this volume
The Five Control Surfaces and Graduated Autonomy
Five named surfaces (bounded context, transparency, human-in-the-loop, model governance, pipeline verification), and a trust ladder that gives an agent more authority only after it has earned it. Trust is not assumed; it is rated.
