Hermes cc3976fb7f ideas: editorial sweep — atomization, interlinking, restructuring
- Split competitive-analysis-2026-05.org → TOC + 9 competitor files in
  ideas/competitors/. Dropped date from filename. All competitor UUIDs
  generated, TOC keeps original UUID for backlink continuity.
- Deleted passepartout-economics.org archive (replaced by 27-node KB).
- Inlined 5 'See also' blocks into natural prose (compliance-index,
  first-mover-window, revenue-table, orders-of-magnitude-time,
  native-org-knowledge-base).
- Linked 7 orphan compliance pages back to compliance index + finished
  truncated sentences.
- Linked all 14 Agora requirement docs from topic-relevant pages
  (identity→lisp-machine-security, infrastructure→compute-marketplace,
  social-space→growth-strategy, exchange→agora-contracts, etc.).
- Linked ai-industry-impact from investment-thesis, sufficiency-flip,
  verification-appliance, effects-growth-flywheel (up from 1 to 10+ pages).
- Fixed CREATED timestamps to use git commit dates instead of today.
- Made all links absolute from root (no port inheritance).
- Removed stale agora/docs/ duplicate content.

CRA (EU Cyber Resilience Act)

transaction." First-mover advantage: wallets are being built now; the provider that integrates with the wallet standard first locks in the identity gate integration.

CRA (Cyber Resilience Act)

EU regulation (effective 2025-2027 phased). Mandates cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements (hardware and software). Requires: secure-bydesign, vulnerability handling, security updates for minimum 5 years, SBOM (software bill of materials) disclosure, CE marking for cybersecurity.

Who must comply: Manufacturers, importers, and distributors of connected products sold in the EU. Categories: default (self-declaration), Class I (third-party audit), Class II (notified body assessment).

Penalties: Up to 15M EUR or 2.5% of global turnover for non-compliance with reporting obligations.

Why it matters: CRA's CE marking requirement creates a certification pipeline that the verification appliance can supply. If Passepartout's gate stack is itself CRA-compliant (verified by the evaluation harness), it becomes the compliance infrastructure for any product built on it. First-mover advantage: Class II products require notified body assessment — the bottleneck is notified body capacity. The gate stack's automated evidence pipeline bypasses the bottleneck.
