Risk Register

A risk register should name the structural and behavioral failures that deserve ongoing attention.

For agentic-proteins, the structural risks are the ones that turn a temporary bridge into a second permanent runtime surface.

Risk Model

flowchart TB
    compatibility["legacy compatibility stays broad"]
    undocumented["callers depend on undocumented bridge behavior"]
    debt["migration debt outruns retirement proof"]
    hardening["bridge hardens into a second runtime"]

    compatibility --> undocumented
    undocumented --> debt
    debt --> hardening

This page should keep the danger chain visible. The serious risk is not one isolated failing path; it is the gradual hardening of the bridge into something the system no longer knows how to retire.

Review Rules

  • legacy compatibility hardens into a second permanent runtime
  • callers depend on undocumented bridge behavior
  • migration debt grows faster than retirement proof

First Proof Check

  • packages/agentic-proteins/tests
  • src/agentic_proteins/interfaces/cli.py and api/app.py
  • src/agentic_proteins/runtime/

Design Pressure

The common drift is to track breakages one by one while missing the higher-order risk that the bridge is becoming permanent by habit.
