Curated, registry-only subset of the Microsoft Security Baseline baked into the offline hives via the existing Set-RegistryTweaks path, exposed as a new opt-in 'hardened' profile. Pure offline, idempotent, reversible. Design only; implementation to follow. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

What
Design for baking a curated, registry-only subset of the Microsoft Security Baseline into the image via the existing offline-hive machinery, exposed as a new opt-in
hardenedprofile.This PR adds the design document only (
docs/security-baseline.md); implementation will follow in subsequent commits on this branch.Why
Security-baseline Administrative-Template settings are policy registry values, which map 1:1 onto the current catalog +
Set-RegistryTweaksoffline-hive path. So we can harden the image with no new servicing code — just catalog data + profile wiring. Pure offline, idempotent,-WhatIf, reversible, and auditable through the existing RunReport/BOM/site pipeline.Scope
secedit/auditpol, no bundledLGPO.exe).config/catalog.baseline.psd1, newhardenedprofile (default debloat + baseline), newSecuritycategory.RunAsPPL, SMB client signing) are included in the profile but remain removable viaDisableCatalogId.Status
🚧 Draft / design only — kept open to continue work later.
Closes #3
