Visual · t41_capstone_checklist
Checklist consolidates architecture literacy pillars. $ARCH_LAB LAB-ARCH-001 only. Original Cyberlium.
Capstone proves security architecture literacy on YOUR authorized `$ARCH_LAB` LAB-ARCH-001 fictional org — not stranger org reviews or offensive architecture cookbooks.
Assemble checklist covering Modules 1–9: arch mindset and lab scope, defense in depth, security by design, STRIDE threat modeling, architecture patterns, SABSA literacy, enterprise reference, control selection, review and documentation. Use on capstone walk of YOUR `$ARCH_LAB` LAB-ARCH-001 — never stranger org architecture theft, never offensive attack design, never presenting lab as live employer architecture without authorization. Each row links artifact or honest N/A labeled LAB. Notes chmod 600 under $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t41-arch/. Integrity rows: `$ARCH_LAB` only, LAB-ARCH-001 scope, LAB samples labeled LAB, no offensive content, defensive architecture only, limitations documented.
1. Scope and ethics
$ARCH_LAB LAB-ARCH-001 named with fictional org template reference. NEVER stranger org reviews, NEVER offensive architecture, NEVER lab-as-live-employer fraud.
All design samples labeled LAB — mandatory on every architecture artifact row.
