Editing with explicit boundaries

Editor architectureLocally bundled editor design
Design stage

Purpose, with substance.

Secure Editor is a design-stage project for a locally bundled editing surface. Its proposed broker evaluates capability requests through a deny-by-default policy engine and records both allowed and denied actions. The architecture treats the side effects of editing and automation as a first-class product concern.

  • Locally bundled editor design
  • Capability-broker architecture
  • Deny-by-default policy model
  • Append-only decision-audit design
A closer look

From input
to useful outcome.

Who it serves

Builders designing bounded editing and automation

What goes in

Capability policy, editing requirements, effect boundaries

What comes out

A design for a brokered editing surface

01

Define capabilities

Describe which file, execution, and network effects can be requested.

02

Put policy in the path

Route proposed side effects through one broker boundary.

03

Decide explicitly

Apply deny-by-default rules and retain reasons for decisions.

04

Build in increments

Verify the architecture before treating it as an enforceable editor.
