docs(positioning): state Why/How/What and the EU AI Act governance fit in README and Platform Model - #16734
Conversation
…t in README and Platform Model (#16733) Adds the platform's Why/How/What framing to README.md and docs/architecture/PLATFORM_MODEL.md, and a new EU_AI_GOVERNANCE.md that cites the real compliance/retention/RBAC code already in place while stating plainly what governance tooling doesn't exist yet — no compliance certification is claimed.

…I Act (#16733) Extends EU_AI_GOVERNANCE.md with the same cite-what-exists/state-the-gap/claim-no-certification discipline for two more standards: ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems, directly relevant, same governance primitives as the EU AI Act section) and ISO 14001 (environmental management, narrower — a structural point about who controls hardware/energy variables, explicitly not a measured environmental benefit claim). README and PLATFORM_MODEL.md updated to mention ISO 42001 alongside the EU AI Act for consistency across all governance-facing surfaces.

Update the AI Act timeline and distinguish high-risk categories.
As of 14 September 2026, do not state that high-risk system obligations start in August 2026. Retain the dates for prohibited practices (2 February 2025) and GPAI obligations (2 August 2025). State that Annex III high-risk systems are covered from 2 December 2027, while high-risk systems embedded in regulated products under Annex I are covered from 2 August 2028.

Make the data-residency statement conditional. Self-hosting alone does not guarantee that request data or audit records remain within the operator’s jurisdiction. Residency depends on the configured provider, storage, backups, telemetry and egress controls.

Do not assign all AI Act obligations to the model trainer.
The AI Act distinguishes the provider of a model or system from the deployer. A downstream actor can also become a provider after substantial modification or a change of intended purpose. An AutoBot operator can retain system-provider or deployer duties even when it uses an unmodified external model. Rewrite this row to say that GPAI-model obligations generally remain with the model provider, while the operator's duties depend on its role, integration, and use case. (eur-lex.europa.eu)

…4001 (#16733) NIS2 Art. 21(2) security measures mapped to real code: THREAT_MODEL.md (risk analysis), compliance_manager.py (incident-handling audit log), backup.py + verify-backup-restore.yml (business continuity, verified restore not just backup), dependabot.yml (supply chain), secrets_vault.py (cryptography/encryption policy via envelope-encrypted DEKs), user_management/ (access control), and a real MFA model (UserMFA, mfa_enabled) rather than a placeholder field. States the real gaps plainly: no SECURITY.md/vulnerability-disclosure policy at repo root, no incident-reporting workflow mapped to NIS2's 24h/72h/1-month timeline, and no NIS2 applicability determination (that depends on the operator's sector/size, not on AutoBot). Doc renamed to "EU AI Act, NIS2 & Governance Fit"; README and PLATFORM_MODEL.md updated to match everywhere.

Thinking Path
The owner worked out AutoBot's Why/How/What positioning and an EU AI Act governance angle in
conversation and asked for it to land in the documentation and README, not stay implicit in the
architecture. Two design choices: (1) extend the existing "Why this model" section in
PLATFORM_MODEL.md rather than create a parallel positioning doc, since that section already
exists for exactly this purpose; (2) put the EU AI Act content in its own new doc rather than
inline in PLATFORM_MODEL.md or the README, because compliance-adjacent claims need room for
honest caveats (what's real vs. what's missing) that would clutter a short positioning section
and could read as overclaiming if compressed. Every governance claim cites the real file it's
based on, verified to exist before citing, so the doc cannot drift into a certification claim
the code doesn't back.
What Changed
README.md: added a "Why, How, What" section after the top pitch table; added a"Governance-Ready Architecture" bullet under "What AutoBot Does" linking to the new doc.
docs/architecture/PLATFORM_MODEL.md: added a "Why, How, What" section after the existing"Why this model" section; added a new "Governance & EU AI Act Fit" section; updated the
Freshness marker and Related links.
docs/architecture/EU_AI_GOVERNANCE.md(new): states what governance infrastructure existstoday (cites
autobot-backend/security/enterprise/compliance_manager.py,api/memory_privacy.py,user_management/models/retention_policy.py,llm_shared/provider_registry.py) and what does not (no risk-tier classifier, notechnical-documentation generator, no Act-shaped log schema). Explicitly not a compliance
certification.
Verification
EU_AI_GOVERNANCE.mdwas confirmed to exist and to contain the describedfunctionality before being cited (
grep/Read, not inferred from naming).no-doc-kind-in-architecture(new filename doesn't matchthe reserved
_ANALYSIS/_DESIGN/_IMPLEMENTATION_PLANsuffixes) and the doc-sync hook.PLATFORM_MODEL.md,EU_AI_GOVERNANCE.md,README.mdcross-links).Risks
Low risk: documentation only, no code path changed. The main risk is wording drift into an
overclaim on the governance doc — mitigated by citing a real file for every claim and stating
gaps explicitly rather than omitting them. Rollback is a straight revert if the framing needs
rework.

Issue Link
Closes #16733
Single-issue rationale
This issue was filed fresh in the same conversation that scoped it, and no other open issue
shares its scope (README + Platform Model positioning content) right now. Batching it with an
unrelated issue just to share a CI run would mean inventing scope overlap that doesn't exist.
