Known Boundary Conditions
DBaD v3 defines the current boundary of enforceable trust constraints.
These are not hidden weaknesses, but explicitly documented limits where enforcement transitions into observation and research.
1. Cross-Chain Coordination
DBaD constrains trust within visible dependency chains. Coordinated behavior across independent chains remains partially observable and is a current research focus.
2. Metadata Orphanage / Chain Reset
Fresh chain initialization resets lineage visibility. DBaD enforces zero-trust inheritance for new chains, but cross-chain intent correlation remains limited.
3. Recovery Deadlock / Governance Loop
Enforcement rules may block legitimate recovery actions during failure states. DBaD currently escalates these conditions rather than bypassing them.
4. Propagation Timing
State transitions occur within runtime windows. High concurrency may introduce race conditions between evaluation and commit phases.
DBaD is designed to make these limits visible, not hide them. Future versions will refine these boundaries without compromising minimal enforcement principles.
