How to read the self-replication threat reports
The v1.8.0 expansion preserves seven additional user-supplied reports under /docs/source-reports/raw-markdown/, creates public summaries under /docs/source-report-summaries/, and uses those reports to expand Cognivirus.com without publishing operational replication or exploit guidance.
The reports are useful because they stress-test the site's thesis from several angles: modular LoRA reproduction, algorithmic mitosis and meiosis metaphors, evaluator drift, skill composition risk, memory persistence, human incentive capture, and execution-time containment. They are not treated as peer-reviewed consensus.
Reading posture
| Report language | Site treatment |
|---|---|
| catastrophic scenario | labeled as speculative scenario unless directly supported elsewhere |
| claimed exploit chain | abstracted into threat category and controls, not reproduced as steps |
| biological analogy | retained only as metaphor, never as literal organism claim |
| reported benchmark | framed with its limitations and source status |
| governance prescription | translated into architecture review questions |
What changed in the site
The new content deepens the apex-threat section, adds a research synthesis, expands composition and evolution pages, and adds control pages focused on execution-time boundaries and human agency safeguards.

Boundary statement
Cognivirus.com remains a research and architecture observatory. It does not provide attack instructions, autonomous propagation procedures, backdoor-construction guidance, credential-harvesting workflows, or social-engineering scripts.
