Tom Boucher 207d8f1697 fix(#1626): make the security gate severity-aware via per-threat severity (#1635)
workflow.security_block_on was documented as the minimum threat severity
that blocks advancement, but threats carried no severity and the auditor's
threats_open count (the SECURITY.md gate field) counted every open threat
regardless of severity — so the threshold had no effect, and the auditor's
block_on vocabulary (open/unregistered/none) did not even match the config
enum (critical/high/medium/low/none).

- planner: add a Severity column to the STRIDE threat register; assign
  severity per threat.
- auditor: read severity; reconcile the <config> block_on domain to the
  severity enum; redefine threats_open as the count of OPEN threats whose
  severity is at or above block_on (none => 0). Below-threshold opens are
  reported as non-blocking and excluded from threats_open.
- SECURITY.md template + planning-config.md reconciled.

No gate-check site changed: threats_open == 0 stays the gate everywhere;
only its computation is now severity-filtered.

## Trust Boundaries
| Boundary | Description | Data Crossing |
|----------|-------------|---------------|
| {boundary} | {description} | {data type / sensitivity} |

## Threat Register
| Threat ID | Category | Component | Severity | Disposition | Mitigation | Status |
|-----------|----------|-----------|----------|-------------|------------|--------|
| T-{N}-01 | {STRIDE category} | {component} | {critical / high / medium / low} | {mitigate / accept / transfer} | {control or reference} | open |
*Status: open · closed · open — below {block_on} threshold (non-blocking)*
*Severity: critical > high > medium > low — only open threats at or above workflow.security_block_on count toward threats_open*
*Disposition: mitigate (implementation required) · accept (documented risk) · transfer (third-party)*
---
## Accepted Risks Log
| Risk ID | Threat Ref | Rationale | Accepted By | Date |
|---------|------------|-----------|-------------|------|
*Accepted risks do not resurface in future audit runs.*
*If none: "No accepted risks."*

## Security Audit Trail
| Audit Date | Threats Total | Closed | Open | Run By |
|------------|---------------|--------|------|--------|
| {YYYY-MM-DD} | {N} | {N} | {N} | {name / agent} |

## Sign-Off
- [ ] All threats have a disposition (mitigate / accept / transfer)
- [ ] Accepted risks documented in Accepted Risks Log
- [ ] `threats_open: 0` confirmed
- [ ] `status: verified` set in frontmatter
**Approval:** {pending / verified YYYY-MM-DD}
