  • Review all WARNING and SECURITY wording across docs for truthfulness and tone
  • Soften final-warning.md title and framing (renamed "FINAL WARNING" → "Before You Begin")
  • Add context to warning-blast-radius.md that capabilities are standard GitHub Actions runner properties, not unique to this project
  • Add context to security-assessment.md executive summary about platform defaults
  • Soften README.md callout to "Before You Begin" docs
  • Update cross-references in CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, index.md, the-four-laws-of-ai.md, incident-response.md
  • Verify all changes are truthful and not unnecessarily alarming

Summary of changes

All WARNING and SECURITY wording reviewed for truthfulness and tone. Key changes:

  • "FINAL WARNING" → "Before You Begin" — welcoming instead of alarming
  • "Blast Radius Analysis" → "Capabilities Analysis" — descriptive instead of scary
  • "⚠️ WARNING:" bullets → "Things to Keep in Mind" — same content, calmer presentation
  • "🔴 CRITICAL" → "🔴 High priority" in summary tables — less militaristic severity language
  • Added context notes explaining that most documented capabilities (root access, network egress, Docker) are standard GitHub Actions runner properties, not unique to this project
  • Security assessment "Bottom Line" reframed to be informative rather than alarming, pointing to hardening recommendations
  • All factual content preserved — nothing removed, only reframed
