Status: IN
Security enforcement is the invariant that holds across all topology variants: install-time locks (FIPS, CPU partitioning) apply regardless of whether control planes are standalone, hosted, or edge; TLS/IPsec spans all network topologies; and API governance prevents circumventing security via any operational model — divergent topologies cannot escape the unified security stack.
Combines security stack (depth-5) with topology model (depth-5) — security is topology-independent
