docs: drop jargon, make repo docs descriptive
Replace 'carve'/'headline' throughout; reframe the front-facing docs
(README, spec drafts, related-work) to describe what the repo contains
and link to it rather than narrate the process. Process framing stays in
the decision log and the intent-comment/sep-disposition planning docs.
Live SEP-1913/SEP-2061 comments updated to match.

Related work

External references and prior art relevant to the IG's trust / privacy annotation work. Several were surfaced in IG meetings (notably 2026-05-28).

SEPs

Research

  • FIDES — Information-flow control for LLM agents. arXiv:2505.23643. Basis for the ifc.fides.v1 profile.
  • Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents — IBM/Google/Microsoft. arXiv:2506.08837. Plan-Then-Execute, Dual LLM, Map-Reduce, etc.
  • Trail of Bits — prompt-injection via hidden content in GitHub issues. blog.
  • OpenAI Auto Review — https://alignment.openai.com/auto-review/ (shared in IG chat).

Implementations & tooling

  • kapil8811/mcp-trust-annotations — reference Python SDK PoC for trust-annotations.
  • github-mcp-server — public MCP server; emitter candidate for ifc-fides (knows repo visibility + collaborators).
  • Ethyca data-labeling docs — https://www.ethyca.com/docs (shared in IG chat).
  • GitHub Next agentic-workflows research on data labeling — to be documented as issues in this repo (IG action item, @gokhanarkan / @joannakl).

Adjacent community proposals (from the SEP-1913 thread)

  • SINT Protocol (capability-token constraint enforcement) — pshkv.
  • in-toto attestations as a trust-annotation substrate.
  • OVERT 1.0 envelope shape for runtime evidence.
  • Caller/tool cosigning model — viftode4.
  • Sequence-shape policies — marras0914.

These are exactly the models that evidenceRef's open type is designed to accommodate as profiles.
