\section*{Security Policy (Pre-ACL Era)}

The original StarForth security policy addressed vulnerability disclosure
through a contact-email mechanism with a 72-hour response commitment. This
policy predates the word-level ACL system (\texttt{capsules/ACL.4th}, Phase~6
complete) that now governs runtime security enforcement. The contact information
and disclosure procedure described here may no longer reflect current project
practice.

%% TODO(bob): Confirm whether a current public security policy exists and
%% where it lives. The ACL system covers runtime security; a disclosure
%% policy for external reporters is a separate concern.
