Risk Register

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

Risk Model

flowchart LR
    meaning["shared meaning drift"]
    migration["migration and serialization drift"]
    consumers["consuming packages fork behavior"]

    meaning --> migration --> consumers

This page should make foundation risk look systemic rather than abstract. The danger is not one broken helper; it is that shared meaning stops being shared while the repository still talks as if it is.

Review Rules

  • shared types start carrying policy that belongs elsewhere
  • migration promises drift from actual serialized payloads
  • consuming packages fork the meaning in practice

First Proof Check

  • packages/bijux-proteomics-foundation/tests
  • src/bijux_proteomics_foundation/schema.py and migrations.py
  • src/bijux_proteomics_foundation/serialization.py

Design Pressure

Foundation risk becomes expensive when downstream forks reality before the maintainers notice. The register has to keep shared meaning drift visible enough to trigger action early.
