Infrastructure Failures

Definition

Detection fired correctly. Internal enforcement executed. No escalation path to human oversight or law enforcement was ever built.

Distinct from

  • GER-500 — Handler was never implemented → this code. Platform own code crashed during operation → GER-500.
  • GER-504 — Escalation path never built → this code. Escalation path exists but external handler timed out → GER-504.
