Connect the roles in Containment Eradication and RecoveryKeep confirmed scope, containment boundary, eradication work, and trusted recovery as separate roles.
Connect the roles in Containment Eradication and RecoveryA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about containment eradication and recovery.

Safety boundaryDecision limits spread and preserves operations
Removal processProcess removes persistence and stolen access
Recovery testBackup restores through clean dependencies
