Evidence Coverage Matrix

Versioned matrix for CISO, CTO, and procurement review. BeProof does not promise omniscient visibility — it documents what is evaluated today, what is partial, and what remains on the roadmap.

Coverage by evidence layer

Aligns with in-app completeness tracking across Declared, Granted, Observed, and Trust. Policy evaluation follows the same no-silent-pass model documented in Policy Pack v1.2.2.

Layer	Source family	Current coverage	Limitations
Declared	Agent configs (Codex, Claude, Cursor, Open Claw, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, Continue), MCP, instruction files	macOS-first baseline — Open Claw, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and Continue adapters shipped	Scoped scan roots only — no implicit full-home crawl
Declared	Homebrew, npm/pnpm global, IDE extension install records	Supported (POL-X01)	Metadata only; unreadable paths become install_inventory gaps
Declared	Managed settings and MDM policy paths (POL-X02)	Supported for Codex, Claude, Cursor, Open Claw, Windsurf, VS Code	Path existence and mtime metadata only — policy values not parsed
Granted	Credential refs, keychain metadata, cloud grants	Supported / partial	Consent (POL-G02), provider tokens, and admin APIs required where applicable
Observed	Local usage scanners (10 vendors), cloud usage, cross-layer correlations	Supported / partial	Per-vendor {vendor}_usage gaps when history missing; cloud depth varies by connector
MCP risk	Local commands, network endpoints, env credentials	Supported	Vendor-native runtime deny workflows not complete
Trust	Export manifest, journal chain, SBOM / provenance	Supported — export signing, journal chain, SBOM/provenance	verify-export-manifest + verify-journal shipped; fleet signing per tenant

This table uses prose status labels (Supported, Partial, Planned). Per-vendor symbols (✅ GA, 🟡 Partial) apply to the Supported surfaces catalog.

Expansion process

BeProof expands detection coverage along two axes: new Surface rows (vendor adapters) and moving Partial cells toward GA (deeper layers per surface). CoverageGap is not a roadmap defect — it is the honest audit outcome when evidence is missing in a specific run.

North star: One focused adapter PR per high-signal agent: declared + observed minimum, tests, docs, and a new row in the public matrix — without refactoring the policy engine.

New surface adapter checklist

Normative process for macOS provider extension (see PRD_PROVIDER_EXTENSION.md in the BeProof repository). Policy evaluation does not change — only scanners, registry entries, and matrix rows.

1.Research — Document config, usage/history, and managed/MDM paths (metadata-only). Publish in managed-settings docs before claiming GA.
2.Declared — InventoryScanner + SurfaceKind; surfaces appear in Agents / Surfaces tabs and export.
3.Observed — *UsageScanner.swift wired into full audit + CLI; explicit {vendor}_usage CoverageGap when history is unreadable.
4.Granted / Cloud — Optional: credential refs, CloudAgentProvider, grant enumeration, env token keys.
5.Install / Managed — Optional: Homebrew/npm/IDE matcher; ManagedSettingsTargetRegistry entry for POL-X02 paths.
6.Correlation + UI — AuditLinkEngine provider matching; AgentVendor presentation; Coverage tab matrix row.
7.Contracts + tests — packages/contracts fixtures when fields change; scanner unit tests; no regression on existing vendors.
8.Public matrix — Update the Supported surfaces catalog and Evidence Coverage Matrix; bump DETECTION_COVERAGE_VERSION and add a changelog entry.

Moving Partial → GA

Partial in the public matrix means capability maturity, not a failed audit. GA is claimed only when the adapter or connector path is shipped — customer setup gaps remain explicit CoverageGap records.

From	To	Engineering action
Observed 🟡	Observed ✅	Ship or extend a local usage scanner; wire gap area {vendor}_usage with explicit reasons.
Cloud 🟡	Cloud ✅	CloudAgentProvider + enumerator; Local vs Cloud connector setup; org overlay requiredCloudConnectors.
Granted 🟡	Granted ✅	Provider tokens configured; keychain consent (POL-G02); grant scope templates (POL-X04).
Declared only	Full surface row	First-class provider adapter (expansion checklist below) — not generic MCP / unknown provider inference.

Updating this matrix

Adapter PR merged and scanners covered by tests.
Row added or updated in supportedAgentSurfaces on /coverage.
Partial → GA only where the capability is shipped — not when a customer simply has not configured a connector.
DETECTION_COVERAGE_VERSION bumped; changelog appended on /docs/detection-coverage.
Homepage category examples updated when a vendor becomes customer-visible.

Out of scope

Third-party plugin marketplace or runtime SDK
Windows / Linux endpoint platforms (separate platform PRD — not macOS adapter expansion)
Network payload capture or secret value parsing
Auto-remediation or vendor-native runtime deny (detection-only today)
Parsing managed policy values (path existence metadata only for POL-X02)

Changelog

2026-06-24 — Added Open Claw–Continue observed adapters, VS Code managed settings, and Expansion process section.
2026-06-23 — Initial public matrix: surface catalog at /coverage, evidence layer limitations, install inventory breadth (Homebrew, npm/pnpm, IDE extensions).
