version: "1.0.0" name: src-hunt-lane description: > Iterative authorized SRC discovery and validation lane. It keeps one bounded hypothesis active, prevents idle scanning, and returns every result through the common evidence contract.

SRC Hunt Lane

Use this lane when the target is a confirmed authorized program or enterprise scope and the task requires structured discovery followed by focused validation. It is an orchestration lane, not a replacement for the API, business-flow, profiling, collection, or evidence lanes.

Mode Selection

Do not widen scope from a weak technology match. A new asset needs an independent scope signal or explicit authorization.

Closed Loop

1. Confirm scope, identities, request limits, exclusions, and stop conditions.
2. Create or update the target profile.
3. Seed passive collection from the approved target set.
4. Normalize and deduplicate assets, routes, scripts, and parameters.
5. Pick one seed with the strongest combination of reachability, privilege,

state impact, and evidence quality.

1. Build one hypothesis with a control request and one expected invariant.
2. Route to exactly one specialist lane.
3. Validate the smallest reversible change.
4. Record confirmed, incomplete, negative, or blocked.
5. Return to the queue only after cleanup and evidence recording.

Anti-Idle Gates

• A route name, banner, status code, or scanner hit is a lead only.
• Two consecutive no-change checks require a hypothesis review.
• Repeated authorization failures require a route change or a stop record.
• Rate limits pause the source and do not justify source rotation.
• Do not run a full matrix before the current seed has a decision.
• Do not enumerate unrelated objects or identities.

Signal Routing

Canonical detailed checks live under skills/skill/knowledge-base/ and references/playbooks/. The expert modules under references/experts/ are optional depth references selected by the primary lane.

Handoff Rules

Every specialist result must include the seed ID, the original source, the control, the mutation, the response delta, the state effect, cleanup, and evidence references. If the specialist cannot decide safely, return blocked with the exact missing prerequisite.

This lane is complete only when the current seed is closed, handed to the evidence lane, or explicitly stopped with a reason.
