BEHAVIORAL canary

Canary probe category BEHAVIORAL → exercises factor CT-OBS, carries MEDIUM risk.

Definition

The BEHAVIORAL canary is one of nine probe categories the runtime periodically fires to actively test an agent. A BEHAVIORAL probe exercises trust factor CT-OBS and a failure carries MEDIUM risk. Note: the canary taxonomy is a provisional (Phase-1) governance subsystem held locally, not part of the sealed canonical spec.
