From 552264172713a2191a13105805dfa2f25f5549ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Whalen <44679+seanthegeek@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 18:14:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Codify triage flagging for identified operators with no fitting type MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit An operator confidently identified from two corroborating sources but matching none of the README's type values should be flagged during triage with a proposed new type for the reviewer, not force-fitted and not silently recorded as known-unknown — KU means "we couldn't identify this", which would bury completed research. Extends workflow rule 7 and the LLM low-confidence list in the maps AGENTS.md.

Two corroborating sources means two *independent* signals pointing at the same operator: typically domain-WHOIS registrant + homepage content, or homepage + an established third-party directory, or domain-WHOIS + MMDB `as_name` registered to the same entity. A single source — a self-described homepage with privacy-redacted WHOIS, an MMDB `as_name` with nothing else, an IP-WHOIS netname for a domain whose name doesn't match the netname (rule 5 above) — does **not** clear the bar. Routed-network scale is *context, not corroboration*: knowing an operator routes /14 of address space tells you nothing about who they are. When the bar isn't cleared, the domain goes to `known_unknown_base_reverse_dns.txt` instead of the map. This applies equally to bulk-TSV passes, MMDB coverage-gap passes, PSL-private-domain passes, and ad-hoc single-domain additions — there are no per-workflow relief valves. @@ -198,6 +198,7 @@ When `unknown_base_reverse_dns.csv` has new entries, follow this order rather th 3.
