neuralSpring is a scientific validation Spring — it does not handle user authentication, network-facing services, or sensitive data directly. Its security posture derives from the ecoPrimals sovereign stack:

• Pure Rust: #![forbid(unsafe_code)] across all workspace crates. Zero C dependencies in application code (ecoBin compliant).
• cargo-deny: Continuous advisory scanning via RustSec database, license compliance, and source provenance checks.
• No vendor lock-in: Zero proprietary dependencies. All computation is sovereign (runs on your hardware, no cloud calls).
• IPC isolation: JSON-RPC 2.0 over Unix domain sockets with capability-based discovery. No shared memory, no global state.

If you discover a security issue:

1. Do not open a public issue
2. Contact the ecoPrimals maintainers via the repository's security advisory feature (GitHub → Security → Advisories → New draft)
3. Include: affected component, reproduction steps, potential impact
4. Expected response time: 72 hours for acknowledgment

All dependencies are Pure Rust and audited via cargo-deny. The dependency tree is reviewed on every PR via CI. Transitive -sys crates (from wgpu GPU HAL) are infrastructure-level and do not process untrusted input.

All datasets used in validation are from public repositories (SRA, Zenodo, EPA, PDB) with documented accession numbers in specs/DATA_PROVENANCE.md. No proprietary or sensitive data is included in this repository.
