20. Governance Failure Modes

AIGP identifies the following failure modes:

natural_language_control_failure
stale_enforcement_state
split_brain_governance
invalid_authority_token
expired_intent
broken_ddna_chain
unverified_enforce_signal
glyph_spoofing
peer_observation_conflict
cognitive_harm_trajectory
force_action_without_human_judgment
envelope_violation
inhibition_failure

Each failure mode must generate a D-DNA event.

Example:

ddna_failure_event:
  event_type: governance.failure.detected
  failure_class: stale_enforcement_state
  detected_by: drone.042
  affected_actor: drone.045
  observed_state: continued_entry
  expected_state: deny_entry
  enforcement_signal_id: ebs.sar17.000842
  action: escalate_when_link_restored
  event_hash: sha256:...
  signature: ...
