SAFETY canary

Canary probe category SAFETY → exercises factor CT-SAFE, carries CRITICAL risk.

Definition

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