ADR 007: Sovereign Sandbox

Context

When analyzing and parsing external data or configuration, the system must prevent unexpected privilege escalation or side effects.

Decision

Isolate the analysis runtime to prevent privilege escalation.

Rationale

Restricting the analysis to a sovereign sandbox guarantees that external inputs cannot alter the host system state or access unauthorized resources.

Invariants

• Analysis runtime must be fully isolated.
• Zero capability for privilege escalation during execution.

Consequences

• Tighter security envelope around the analyzer.
• Increased complexity in bridging data across the sandbox boundary.
