First real run of the daily-improvement routine. Scanned all six sources; nine in-window items triaged out-of-scope, one (Anthropic's GRAM off-switch research) deferred with a design sketch against csis/safety/tier_guard.py. No PRs opened this run.

Anthropic's GRAM research — "An off switch for dual-use knowledge in AI models" (anthropic.com/research/off-switch-dual-use, 2026-07-08) maps to theme 3 (constitutional / safety primitives). GRAM gives a model removable per-category compartments (virology, cybersecurity, nuclear physics, …) so dangerous knowledge can be excised at deployment. It's a training-time technique CSIS can't adopt directly (CSIS calls model checkpoints over the API, it doesn't train weights), but the compartmentalize-and-gate-at-the-boundary principle is already the shape of
TierGuard— today gated by role only. The design sketch (full text inbrain/routines/2026-07-19.md) proposes extendingTierGuardwith a second, per-domain-adapter ceiling axis. Deferred rather than shipped becausetier_guard.pyis safety-adjacent code and a two-axis ceiling changesauthorize()'s contract for every caller — that's a maintainer design call, not something to decide solo in a routine run.Files changed
