Appendices and Reference
The appendices provide the reference material and reusable artefacts that support the main narrative. They are designed to be used directly: copied into repositories, adapted to the organisation's rules for builders, its works agreements and national law, and kept under version control alongside the build they belong to.
The Glossary defines the vocabulary of the book: the twelve steps, the four tiers, the gate, the takeover test, the stewardship tests, the independent test oracle, the builder's mandate, the book's artefacts and the European legal terms it uses.
Appendix A: Code Examples contains complete versions of the artefacts of the twelve steps for the two builds: build record, specification record, architecture decision record, project rules file, mandate manifest, run record, verification plan, review record, provenance record, pipeline, change record, runbook manifest, restore-test record, ownership record and handover pack. In keeping with the book's rules it contains no attack tooling.
Appendix B: Templates and Tools contains the twelve-step checklist by tier, the takeover-test checklist, ordinary prompts for the assistant at each step and the tool categories a builder's workspace must provide.
References and Sources collects every numbered source cited in the chapters.
