Why

Skulk's fleet evasions never fit the /evasions per-session catalog. A per-session evader gets a human/suspicious/bot verdict from registry rule-ids. A fleet is a shape emitted across N sessions, graded at the coordination axis (benign → candidate → fleet / campaign), and the tells that catch it are cross-session bindings (fp_collision, trace_collision, template_similarity, shared_ticket, proxy_egress, arrival_regularity) computed in the coordination scorer — not in registry.yaml. Jamming them into the human/bot table was actively misleading, and the hand-authored ladder in fleet/README.md had drifted into an 18-row wall of prose.

What

A fleet-native generatorskulk/catalog.py, the analog of evasion_catalog.py — renders every registered strategy → the attacker class it models → the blue binding that catches it → its verdict tier, between <!-- GENERATED:coordination --> markers in fleet/README.md.

Non-drifting, and it can't lie about the code:

  • a completeness check fails if a new strategy has no catalog row;
  • a cross-guard asserts every exact-match (fleet-tier) binding matches what grade.assess() actually computes on the live members.

Wired task coordination-catalog + a CI --check in the fleet job + hooked into docs/docs:check.

Readability — the README ladder is now: a short primer (the two axes + the corroboration gate) → the generated table, sorted strongest→weakest conviction with a tier legend → one frontier callout. No more per-row wall.

The rendered table (18 strategies)

9 fleet (cluster axis) · 4 campaign (population axis) · 4 candidate (external-data-bound frontier) · 1 below-candidate. Sorted by conviction strength; candidate/frontier rows grouped at the bottom under the "economic wall" note.

Accuracy guarantees

  • fleet-tier rows are code-locked by the cross-guard against grade.assess().
  • campaign-tier rows carry the README's grounded-live provenance (task coordination-live).
  • I deliberately did not add a harnessfleet scorer test — that would violate the "components never import each other" rule; the campaign tiers are already grounded end-to-end and by the harness's own coordination scenarios.

Verification

fleet suite 36 passed, 97.86% coverage; ruff/mypy/headers clean; python -m skulk.catalog --check green.

Follow-up (not in this PR)

Surface it on the site as /coordination, with each binding row linking to the blue signal — the matched red/blue pair (bigger, detector-side).

…cked catalog

Skulk's fleet evasions don't fit the per-session evasion catalog: a fleet is a
*shape* across N sessions, graded at the COORDINATION axis (benign/candidate/
fleet/campaign), and the tells that catch it are cross-session BINDINGS
(fp_collision, trace_collision, template_similarity, shared_ticket, proxy_egress,
arrival_regularity) computed in the coordination scorer — not per-session
registry rules. Forcing them into the human/suspicious/bot table was misleading.

New fleet-native generator (skulk/catalog.py, the analog of evasion_catalog):
renders every registered strategy → the attacker class it models → the blue
binding that catches it → its verdict tier, between GENERATED markers in
fleet/README.md. Non-drifting: a completeness check fails if a new strategy has
no catalog row, and a cross-guard asserts every exact-match binding matches what
grade.assess() computes on the live members, so the catalog can't contradict the
code. Wired task coordination-catalog + a CI --check (fleet job) + docs/docs:check.

Readability: the README ladder is now a short primer (the two axes + the
corroboration gate), the generated table sorted strongest→weakest conviction with
a tier legend, and one frontier callout — instead of an 18-row wall of prose.

fleet suite 36 passed, 97.86% coverage; ruff/mypy/headers clean.
