…l discoverability Adds a draft (v0) threat model plus SECURITY.md and AGENTS.md so an automated scan agent can discover the model via AGENTS.md -> SECURITY.md -> THREAT_MODEL.md. The model is a proposal for the PMC to review; most claims are (inferred) and route to open questions in its section 14. Generated-by: Claude Code (Claude Opus 4.8)

This is a draft proposal for the Synapse PMC to review — please correct, reject, or discuss as needed. Nothing here is a requirement; the maintainers are the decision-makers.
This PR adds
THREAT_MODEL.md+SECURITY.md+AGENTS.md, wiringAGENTS.md -> SECURITY.md -> THREAT_MODEL.md.The model's framing: Synapse is a mediation engine, not a finished app. The integration developer authors the config (sequences, scripts, XSLT/XQuery, endpoints, security); that config is trusted input, while the inbound message from a network client is the untrusted adversary. So properties are conditional, and the integrator-responsibilities section carries weight.
Draft-first, mostly inferred (~12 documented / 0 maintainer / ~48 inferred); every
*(inferred)*claim routes to a numbered §14 question. The wave-1 rulings decideVALID-vs-misconfiguration:document()resolution on untrusted inbound messages by default (so an XXE/SSRF-via-transform report against defaults isVALID)?Also flagged: dynamic/content-based endpoint resolution as an SSRF surface, and confirming script/XSLT/XQuery bodies are trusted config.
Context: the ASF Security team is preparing the project for an automated agentic security scan we're piloting. Drafted via the threat-model-producer rubric. If you'd rather author it yourselves, close this PR and we'll regroup.
