+# Repository rulesets
+
+Version-controlled [repository ruleset](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/about-rulesets) definitions for MCP-Audit/MCTS.
+
+Apply or refresh rulesets (repo admin, `gh` CLI authenticated):
+
+```bash
+./scripts/enable-branch-protection.sh MCP-Audit/MCTS
+./scripts/enable-branch-protection.sh MCP-Audit/MCTS --dry-run   # preview only
+```
+
+If you previously applied a ruleset named `Protect main`, delete it under **Settings → Rules** after applying — this repo now uses `Protect release branches` (same file: `main.json`).
+
+## Branch access model
+
+| Branch | Who can update | How changes land |
+|--------|----------------|------------------|
+| `main` (current release) | **Maintainers** (`maintain` role) and **Admins** | PRs from `develop` or feature branches; maintainers merge when CI is green |
+| `main_*` (pinned releases, e.g. `main_0.1.2`) | **Maintainers** and **Admins** | Same policy as `main` — hotfix PRs merged by maintainers |
+| `develop` (integration) | **Admins only** (`admin` role) | Direct pushes by admins; contributors open PRs to `develop` from feature branches |
+
+The `update` rule blocks direct pushes unless the actor is in `bypass_actors`. Repository role IDs (GitHub API):
+
+| Role | `actor_id` | Typical members |
+|------|------------|-----------------|
+| `maintain` | `2` | Release maintainers — can merge PRs into `main` |
+| `write` | `4` | Contributors — feature branches and PRs only |
+| `admin` | `5` | Repo admins — full access including `develop` |
+
+Assign roles under **Settings → Collaborators and teams**. Contributors should have **Write**; release maintainers **Maintain**; integration owners **Admin**.
+
+`OrganizationAdmin` is included as an emergency bypass for org owners (not used on personal forks).
+
+## Rulesets
+
+| File | Branches | Rules summary |
+|------|----------|---------------|
+| `main.json` | `main` + `main_*` | Update restricted to bypass actors; PR + CI required; no force-push or deletion |
+| `develop.json` | `develop` | Update restricted to admins; CI required; no force-push or deletion |
+
+### `main` bypass actors
+
+| Actor | Mode | Effect |
+|-------|------|--------|
+| `RepositoryRole` maintain (`2`) | `pull_request` | Can merge PRs into `main` when checks pass |
+| `RepositoryRole` admin (`5`) | `always` | Full bypass for hotfixes / break-glass |
+| `OrganizationAdmin` | `always` | Org-owner bypass |
+
+### `develop` bypass actors
+
+| Actor | Mode | Effect |

+| `RepositoryRole` admin (`5`) | `always` | Only admins can push to `develop` |
+| `OrganizationAdmin` | `always` | Org-owner bypass |
+
+> **Note:** Admins with `bypass_mode: always` can push even when a status check is pending or failed. Run CI before pushing to `develop`, or merge via PR from a branch so checks gate the commit.
+
+## Required status checks
+
+Both rulesets require these checks from [`.github/workflows/ci.yml`](../workflows/ci.yml):
+
+| Check | Workflow job | What it covers |
+|-------|--------------|----------------|
+| `test` | `test` → `test-gate.yml` | Ruff, pytest, regression harness, wheel smoke, SARIF |
+| `scoring-v2` | `scoring-v2` → `scoring-v2.yml` | v2 scoring tests + Spearman ρ ≥ 0.80 calibration gate |
+
+`main` uses `strict_required_status_checks_policy: true` so PR branches must be up to date before merge.
+
+## Changing access or checks
+
+1. Edit `bypass_actors` or `rules` in the JSON file.
+2. Re-run `enable-branch-protection.sh`.
+3. Update [CONTRIBUTING.md](../../CONTRIBUTING.md) and this README.
+
+If GitHub reports a missing check context, open a recent PR → **Checks** tab and copy the exact status names into `required_status_checks`.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.1.3] - 2026-06-12
+
+### Added
+
+- **Scoring v2 (multi-factor risk)** — parallel `score_v2.absolute_risk` with factor classifiers, attack-chain multipliers, corpus-calibrated `security_score`, and explainable `top_contributors`; legacy `score.overall` unchanged (invariant I1)
+- **Default dual scoring** — `--scoring both` is the default in CLI, API, and GitHub Action; opt out with `--scoring legacy`
+- **v2 CI gates** — `--min-security-score`, `--max-absolute-risk`, `--max-risk-level`, `--min-category-score-v2`; API returns `gate_violations` and echoed `scoring_mode`
+- **Dashboard v2** — absolute risk header, factor-axis radar, OWASP `category_scores_v2` tiles, dual-score glossary when `both`
+- **Dashboard overview** — hero snapshot, issues/risk priority grid, quick-jump nav, plain-language zones (actions, risk breakdown, coverage, trends), and collapsible “How to read this report” guide for v2 and legacy scans
+- **Scan history trend table** — dynamic columns (date, absolute risk, risk level, security score, issues, critical, high, legacy score) from `history.json`; records severity counts per run
+- **SARIF `mcts/scoreV2`** — optional run properties; see [sarif-score-v2.md](docs/reporting/sarif-score-v2.md) for Code Scanning adoption
+- **Calibration** — 11-server corpus, Spearman gate (ρ ≥ 0.80), `scripts/calibrate_scoring_weights.py`, packaged `scoring_v2_corpus_stats.json`
+- **Docs** — [ADR-003](docs/analysis/adr-003-scoring-v2.md), [scoring-spec-v2](docs/reporting/scoring-spec-v2.md), [migration guide](docs/migration/scoring-v2.md)
+- **Pentest** — `verdict` follows `score_v2.risk_level` when v2 scoring is enabled
+- **CI** — `scoring-v2` workflow required on main CI (`ci.yml`) with Spearman ρ ≥ 0.80 gate
+
 ### Fixed
 
+- Pentest marks `attack_chains` as `skipped` (not `complete`) when zero MCP tools are discovered; `pentest_limits` on `PentestReport` records coverage (`static-only` vs `full`) ([#215](https://github.com/MCP-Audit/MCTS/issues/215), thanks [@sachinML](https://github.com/sachinML) — [PR #255](https://github.com/MCP-Audit/MCTS/pull/255))
+- Legacy security score card and gauge hidden when v2 scoring is active so the overview shows a single primary risk model
+- v2 dimension radar uses relative normalization so spoke scale reflects dominant factors on each scan (not absolute corpus scale)
 - Reject invalid `--snapshot` JSON such as scan-report artifacts, empty tool lists, or tool rows without names before scan analysis starts.
 - Validate governance `--policy` files before scan execution so missing or invalid policy files fail before reports are written.
 - Fail `--auto` with a clear error when multiple MCP config files or entrypoint candidates are found instead of silently scanning the repo root.
@@ -34,9 +53,15 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 
 ### Changed
 
+- **HTML dashboard layout** — equal-height side-by-side panels across overview, risk breakdown, and trends; scrollable overflow (280px cap) for trend history, risk contributors, and category health; overview issue/pass lists capped at six rows
+- **Brand assets** — canonical `Logo 2.jpg` for terminal headers, HTML sidebar, and exports (replaces separate PNG/report variants)
+- **Trend sparkline** — chart width follows container size with resize handling
+- **Documentation** — added [Scoring developer guide](docs/reporting/scoring-guide.md) as single entry point; simplified glossary, getting started, and migration doc; synced architecture, CI, and [html-report](docs/reporting/html-report.md) docs for the reorganized dashboard
 - Print MCP Surface / Supply Chain / Dependency Hygiene breakdown when `--min-score` or `--ci` gate fails.
 - Validate resolvable live launch configuration before the consent gate on `mcts snapshot` and `mcts fuzz`.
 - **Doctor + MCP server startup hints** — `mcts doctor` now reports whether the optional `[mcp]` extra is installed, and `mcts-mcp` prints a direct install hint instead of a bare import failure when the extra is missing (#219).
+- **GitHub issue templates** — structured bug, feature, security, and documentation forms aligned with `type:*` / `priority:P*` label taxonomy
+- **Branch rulesets** — `main` + `main_*` release branches (maintainer merge) and admin-only `develop` integration branch

+|--------|----------------|--------|
+| `main` (current release) | **Maintainers** (`maintain`) and **Admins** | PRs required; **`test`** + **`scoring-v2`** must pass; branch up to date; no force-push or deletion |
+| `main_*` (pinned releases, e.g. `main_0.1.2`) | **Maintainers** and **Admins** | Same as `main` — for version-specific hotfix lines |
+| `develop` (integration) | **Admins only** | **`test`** + **`scoring-v2`** must pass; no force-push or deletion; contributors land work via PRs from feature branches |
+
+Contributors typically have **Write** (feature branches only). Assign **Maintain** to release maintainers who merge into `main`. Assign **Admin** to owners who push integration work to `develop`.
+
+Definitions live in [`.github/rulesets/`](.github/rulesets/) (`main.json`, `develop.json`). See [rulesets README](.github/rulesets/README.md) for bypass actors and role IDs.

+# ADR-003: MCTS Risk Score v2
+
+**Status:** Accepted  
+**Date:** 2026-06-11  
+**Spec:** [scoring-spec-v2.md](../reporting/scoring-spec-v2.md)
+
+## Context
+
+Legacy scoring (`score.overall`) uses severity-only exponential decay. Clients need explainable, stable absolute risk with factor breakdowns and attack-chain amplification without double-counting chain meta-findings.
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Topic | Choice |
+|-------|--------|
+| Dual score in CI | `--min-score` stays on legacy `overall` until v2.2 |
+| `scoring_mode="v2"` | Runs **both** engines: legacy `score` + `score_v2` |
+| Chain meta-findings in v2 sum | **Exclude** — `attack_chains` in `NON_SCORING_V2` |
+| Chain multiplier | `paths_v1` tool correlation on validated paths (`medium+` severity) |
+| `hop_count` | `len(path_nodes) - 1` on edge-validated paths |
+| Analyzer when v2 on | Always run `AttackChainAnalyzer`; bypass `--analyzers` / `--surfaces` |
+| `chain_factor` gating | `enable_attack_chains` / `--no-attack-chains` sets `chain_factor_mode: disabled` |
+| `weights_hash` | `ScoreV2Basis.weights_hash` only — not on `RiskScoreV2` |
+| API score gates | CLI enforces exit codes; API returns `gate_violations` array without HTTP gate exit (v2.0) |
+| Canonical graph | `scoring/graph.py` owns paths; `report/data.build_attack_graph()` delegates |
+| Fake path rejection | BFS returns `None` when disconnected — never `[start, end]` |
+| Model location | v2 types in `scoring/models.py`; `ScanReport` imports `RiskScoreV2` |
+| `dimension_scores` | RFC factor axes only; OWASP in `category_scores_v2()` (PR-4d) |
+| Bracket formula | `1 + Σ factor_increments` — no YAML bracket double-weight |
+| Confidence | Affects `confidence_score` / `risk_range` only — never `absolute_risk` |
+
+## Consequences
+
+- `ScanReport.score` remains always populated (backward compatible).
+- `ScanReport.score_v2` is additive when v2/both is enabled.
+- Under v2/both, attack chains analyzer always runs; `--no-attack-chains` disables multiplier only.
+- Legacy and v2 scores may diverge on the same scan — expected (different formulas and scorable sets).

+# Scoring v2 — migration & configuration
+
+> **New to scoring?** Start with the [Scoring developer guide](../reporting/scoring-guide.md) — it explains the two scores, CI flags, and JSON fields in plain language.
+
+This page covers **configuration and migration** details not repeated in the main guide.
+
+---
+
+## Modes
+
+| `--scoring` | `score.overall` | `score_v2` in JSON |
+|-------------|-----------------|-------------------|
+| `both` (**default**) | Yes | Yes |
+| `v2` | Yes | Yes |
+| `legacy` | Yes | No |
+
+```bash
+mcts scan <target>                  # both (default)
+mcts scan <target> --scoring legacy # legacy only
+```
+
+---
+
+## Governance policy (`.mcts/policy.yaml`)
+
+```yaml
+# Legacy
+min_score: 70
+max_critical: 0
+
+# v2 (optional)
+min_security_score: 50
+max_absolute_risk: 500
+max_risk_level: medium
+min_category_score_v2:
+  injection: 80
+  privilege: 70
+```
+
+Use with `mcts scan --policy .mcts/policy.yaml`.
+
+---
+
+## Asset overrides (`.mcts/assets.yaml`)
+
+Optional v2 `asset_value` tuning:
+
+```yaml
+overrides:
+  customer_db: 0.9
+  temp_cache: 0.2
+```
+
+```bash
+mcts scan <target> --assets-path .mcts/assets.yaml
+```
+
+---
+
+## History & trends
+
+`mcts_analysis/history.json` entries include:
+
+- `scoring_version`
+- `absolute_risk`, `security_score`, `risk_level` (when v2 ran)
+
+Trend charts never mix legacy and v2 on the same Y-axis.
+
+---
+
+## Machine-wide & inventory
+
+`mcts scan --machine-wide` and `mcts inventory --scan-all` add per-server v2 fields and `worst_absolute_risk` in summaries when v2 is enabled.
+
+---
+
+## API notes
+
+- Request fields: `scoring_mode`, `weights_profile`, `corpus_stats_path`, `assets_path`, v2 gate fields
+- Response: `gate_violations` array; HTTP 200 even when gates fail (use CLI for exit codes)
+
+See [REST API](../platform/rest-api.md).
+
+---
+
+## Upgrading legacy-only CI
+
+1. **No rush** — `--min-score` still works on `score.overall`.
+2. **Add v2 gate alongside** — e.g. `--max-absolute-risk` without removing `--min-score`.
+3. **Tune thresholds** on your corpus servers (baseline vs vulnerable).
+4. **Switch primary metric** when team is ready — v2.2+ may repoint default CI docs to `security_score`.

 This guide shows how to run MCTS in your CI/CD pipeline — fail builds on security thresholds, upload SARIF to GitHub Code Scanning, and share HTML reports with your team.

-> **Want the GitHub Action?** See [GitHub Actions](#github-actions-published-action) below.
+> **Which CI flags should I use?** [Scoring developer guide](../reporting/scoring-guide.md#ci-gates--pick-one-strategy) — legacy vs v2 cheat sheet

+| **A — Legacy only** | Existing pipelines; no policy change | `--fail-on-critical --min-score 70` |
+| **B — v2 only** | New risk policies | `--max-absolute-risk 500 --max-risk-level high` |
+| **C — Dual gates** | Transition period | `--min-score 70 --max-absolute-risk 500` |

+**Important:** Legacy security scores are **points**, not pass rates. v2 `absolute_risk` uses a different scorable set (excludes `attack_chains` meta-rows) and factor formula — divergent numbers on the same scan are expected. See [Scoring v2 migration](../migration/scoring-v2.md).

+2. Read `runs[].properties["mcts/scoreV2"]` explicitly.
+3. Gate on `absoluteRisk` / `securityScore` with `--min-security-score` or `--max-absolute-risk` in the MCTS CLI/Action instead of relying on Code Scanning UI alone.
+
+Legacy `score.overall` is not written to SARIF run properties in v2.0 — use CLI gates or custom SARIF post-processing for dual-score policies.

+# Scoring — developer guide
+
+> **Read this first** if you are confused by two scores, different CI flags, or mismatched numbers on the same scan.
+
+One scan produces **findings** plus **scores**. MCTS runs **two score engines** in parallel by default (`--scoring both`). They answer different questions — both are intentional.
+
+**Not a scoring question?** Use the [documentation index](../index.md) task picker for install, scan modes, or CI wiring.

+```
+
+| You want to… | Use this field | CI flag (examples) |
+|--------------|----------------|-------------------|
+| Keep existing pipelines working | `score.overall` | `--min-score 70` |
+| Stable risk number for policies | `score_v2.absolute_risk` | `--max-absolute-risk 500` |
+| Compare to other MCP servers | `score_v2.security_score` | `--min-security-score 40` |
+| Simple pass/fail band | `score_v2.risk_level` | `--max-risk-level high` |
+| Block on critical findings | `summary.critical` | `--fail-on-critical` |
+
+**Default:** `--scoring both` — you get legacy **and** v2 in JSON, terminal, HTML, and SARIF.  
+**Legacy only:** `--scoring legacy` — no `score_v2` field.
+
+---
+
+## Why two scores on one scan?
+
+| | Legacy `score.overall` | v2 `score_v2.absolute_risk` |
+|--|------------------------|----------------------------|
+| **Formula** | Severity weights + exponential decay | Eight security factors + chain multiplier |
+| **Scale** | 0–100 (higher = better) | Integer ≥ 0 (higher = worse) |
+| **Findings counted** | All except `compliance` | Also excludes `attack_chains` meta-rows |
+| **Attack chains** | Critical chain rows in the sum | Chain signal via `chain_factor` on tool findings |
+| **Typical use** | Existing CI, letter grade | New policies, explainability, benchmarks |
+
+**Different numbers on the same scan are normal** — not a bug.
+
+Example (`examples/vulnerable-mcp-server/server.py`):
+
+- Legacy overall: **1/100** (includes chain meta-findings)
+- v2 absolute risk: **2260** (multi-factor, tool findings only)
+- v2 security score: **9/100** (benchmark vs corpus — not the same as legacy overall)
+
+---
+
+## Reading terminal output
+
+When `--scoring both` (default):
+
+```text
+Overall Score:   1/100 (CRITICAL)     ← legacy; gates: --min-score
+Risk Index:      100/100              ← legacy linear burden (higher = worse)
+Scoring basis:   5 Critical, 11 High, 1 Medium (17 scorable findings)
+Absolute Risk:   2260 (critical)      ← v2 headline; gates: --max-absolute-risk
+Security Score:  9/100                ← v2 benchmark vs corpus; gates: --min-security-score
+MCP Surface:     1/100                ← legacy partition only
+```
+
+| Line | Engine | Use in CI? |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| Overall Score | Legacy | `--min-score` |
+| Risk Index | Legacy | Display only |
+| Absolute Risk | v2 | `--max-absolute-risk`, `--max-risk-level` |
+| Security Score | v2 | `--min-security-score` |
+| MCP Surface / Supply Chain | Legacy partitions | `--fail-on-category` (legacy keys) |
+
+**Risk Index** is legacy only (linear 0–100, higher = worse).  
+**MCP Surface / Supply Chain / Composite** are legacy partitions — not v2.
+
+---
+
+## JSON report fields
+
+Every `ScanReport` includes `score` (legacy). With v2/both, `score_v2` is added.
+
+```json
+{
+  "scoring_version": "both",
+  "score": {
+    "overall": 1,
+    "risk_index": 100,
+    "basis": { "critical": 5, "high": 11, "scorable_total": 17 }
+  },
+  "score_v2": {
+    "absolute_risk": 2260,
+    "risk_level": "critical",

+    "top_contributors": [ "..." ],
+    "basis": { "scorable_count": 12, "excluded_non_scorable": 7 }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Engine | Notes |
+|-------|--------|-------|
+| `score.overall` | Legacy | Always present (invariant I1) |
+| `score_v2` | v2 | `null` when `--scoring legacy` |
+| `score_breakdown` | Legacy | MCP Surface / Supply Chain partitions — **not** v2 |
+| `category_scores_v2` | v2 | In dashboard JSON only; OWASP tiles, 100 = good |
+
+---
+
+## CI gates — pick one strategy
+
+### Strategy A: Keep legacy CI (no change)
+
+```bash
+mcts scan ./server.py --fail-on-critical --min-score 70
+```
+
+Works exactly as before. v2 fields are still in the report for visibility.
+
+### Strategy B: Add v2 gates (recommended for new policies)
+
+```bash
+mcts scan ./server.py \
+  --fail-on-critical \
+  --max-absolute-risk 500 \
+  --max-risk-level high
+```
+
+Scoring is already `both` by default — no extra `--scoring` flag needed.
+
+### Strategy C: Dual gates (transition period)
+
+```bash
+mcts scan ./server.py --min-score 70 --max-absolute-risk 500
+```
+
+Both must pass. Tune thresholds independently.
+
+### Gate cheat sheet
+
+| Flag | Metric | Needs `--scoring` |
+|------|--------|-------------------|
+| `--min-score` | Legacy `overall` | No |
+| `--fail-on-category` | Legacy category bars | No |
+| `--min-security-score` | v2 benchmark | v2 or both (default) |
+| `--max-absolute-risk` | v2 `absolute_risk` | v2 or both |
+| `--max-risk-level` | v2 `risk_level` | v2 or both |
+| `--min-category-score-v2` | v2 OWASP tiles | v2 or both |

+- Request: `scoring_mode` (`legacy` | `v2` | `both`, default `both`)
+- Response: full report + `gate_violations[]` when gates fail
+- HTTP status stays **200** on gate failure — check `gate_violations` or use CLI for exit code 1
+
+Details: [REST API](../platform/rest-api.md)
+
+---
+
+## Common pitfalls
+
+### `--no-attack-chains` under v2/both
+
+Does **not** turn off the chains analyzer. It only disables the v2 **multiplier** (`chain_factor = 1.0`). Graph and chain findings still appear.
+
+Use `--scoring legacy` if you want the old behavior (no chain meta-findings).
+
+### Mixing metrics in trends
+
+History stores `scoring_version`. The HTML trend chart uses **either** legacy score **or** `absolute_risk` — never both on one axis. Mixed history shows legacy with a warning.
+
+### Readiness / vet scores
+
+`mcts readiness` and `mcts vet` use **separate** scoring pipelines. They do not affect scan `score` or `score_v2`.
+
+### Fuzz / live findings
+
+Fuzz and runtime events are **not** merged into the default static scan v2 sum today. Run separate fuzz/pentest flows for live signal.
+
+### Letter grade (A–F) in HTML
+
+The letter grade and doughnut gauge use **legacy** `score.overall` and appear only on **legacy-only** scans. When `score_v2` is present, the HTML report shows the v2 block (absolute risk + risk pill) instead.
+
+### `--ci` preset
+
+The `--ci` preset applies **legacy** gates only (`--fail-on-critical`, `--min-score 70`). For v2 gates in CI, set flags explicitly or use the [GitHub Action](../../action/README.md) v2 inputs.
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Why is legacy overall 1/100 but absolute risk 2260?**  
+Different formulas and finding sets. Legacy uses exponential decay on all scorable severities including chain meta-rows; v2 sums per-finding factor brackets on tool rows only. See [Why two scores](#why-two-scores-on-one-scan).
+
+**Which score should my CI use?**  
+Keep `--min-score` if you have existing pipelines. Add `--max-absolute-risk` or `--max-risk-level` for new policies. See [CI strategies](#ci-gates--pick-one-strategy).
+
+**Does `--no-attack-chains` remove chain findings?**  
+No — it only disables the v2 **multiplier**. Use `--scoring legacy` to drop chain meta-findings from the legacy sum.
+
+**Where is `score_v2` in SARIF?**  
+Run-level property `mcts/scoreV2` on the SARIF run object. Per-finding v2 metadata is not emitted yet.
+
+**Do readiness or vet scores affect scan scores?**  
+No — separate commands and pipelines.

+# MCTS Risk Score v2 — Specification
+
+> **Read first:** [Scoring developer guide](scoring-guide.md) — mental model, CI flags, JSON fields.  
+> This page is the **technical v2 reference** (formulas and implementation map).
+
+**Status:** GA (default `--scoring both`)  
+**ADR:** [adr-003-scoring-v2.md](../analysis/adr-003-scoring-v2.md)  
+**Legacy spec:** [scoring-spec.md](scoring-spec.md)  
+**SARIF:** [sarif-score-v2.md](sarif-score-v2.md)
+
+## Overview
+
+v2 adds `score_v2` with **absolute risk** (integer, higher = worse) next to legacy `score.overall` (0–100, higher = better).
+
+## Scorable set
+
+Excluded from v2 sum: `compliance`, `attack_chains` meta-findings. Tool-attributed findings from other analyzers are scored.
+
+## Per-finding formula (RFC §4.1)
+
+```
+bracket = 1 + Σ factor_increments
+base_risk = severity_w × bracket
+finding_risk = round(base_risk × chain_factor)
+absolute_risk = Σ finding_risk
+```
+
+Factor increments come from classifiers in `weights_v1.yaml` under `classifiers:`. Evidence tags on findings refine classifiers when emitters populate `reachability_tag`, `exploitability_class`, etc.
+
+## Chain multiplier
+
+`chain_factor` applies to tool findings on validated graph paths (`hop_count` ≥ 1). Severity floor: medium+. Meta chain rows are display-only.
+
+| hop_count | chain_factor |
+|-----------|--------------|
+| 0–1 | 1.0 |
+| 2 | 1.15 |
+| 3 | 1.35 |
+| 4+ | 1.50 |
+
+## Output (`score_v2`)
+
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `absolute_risk` | Stable integer sum |
+| `security_score` | `100 - percentile(absolute_risk, corpus)` when stats available |
+| `risk_level` | Band from corpus or literals: low/medium/high/critical |
+| `risk_range` | Confidence interval on absolute risk (not driven by finding confidence) |
+| `dimension_scores` | Eight factor axes 0–100 (higher = worse) |
+| `top_contributors` | Top 10 findings/paths by contribution |
+| `category_scores_v2` | Separate OWASP tiles, 100 = good (dashboard JSON) |
+| `basis` | Scorable counts, excluded meta-rows, `weights_hash` |
+
+## Aggregation formulas (§8.8–8.10)
+
+### §8.8 `confidence_score` (RFC §4.3)
+
+Confidence affects `confidence_score` and `risk_range` only — **never** `absolute_risk`. Inputs are v2-scorable findings with aligned per-finding risks:
+
+```
+pairs = [(risk, finding) for finding, risk in zip(scorable, risks) if risk > 0]
+if no pairs → confidence_score = 100
+else confidence_score = round(100 × Σ(effective_confidence(f) × risk) / Σ risk)
+```
+
+`effective_confidence` applies per-analyzer caps from `uncertainty.py` when `finding.confidence >= 0.99`.
+
+### §8.9 `risk_range` spread (RFC §4.12)
+
+```
+if absolute_risk == 0 → risk_range = (0, 0), label = "high"
+mean_conf = weighted mean of effective_confidence by finding_risk
+base_spread = absolute_risk × (1 - mean_conf) × 0.35
+spread = base_spread × evidence_quality_factor × analyzer_disagreement_factor
+low = max(0, round(absolute_risk - spread))
+high = round(absolute_risk + spread)
+label = high if mean_conf >= 0.85 else medium if mean_conf >= 0.65 else low
+```
+
+- `evidence_quality_factor`: 0.8 when live_probe + handler_traced tags present; else 1.2  
+- `analyzer_disagreement_factor`: 1.4 when conflicting severities share a tool; else 1.0
+
+### §8.10 `top_contributors` selection (RFC §4.14)
+
+1. Rank scorable findings by `finding_risk` descending; take up to **9** rows (`type=finding`).  
+2. Append one explainability row (`type=attack_chain`) for the highest `hop_count` path when paths exist and total rows &lt; 10.  
+3. JSON export caps at **10** rows and omits verbose `evidence_tags`.
+
+Per-finding contributor fields: `risk_contribution`, `confidence` (effective × 100), `chain_factor`, `factors` breakdown.
+
+### `dimension_scores` normalization (§7.5)
+
+Per-axis raw sum = Σ factor increment for that axis across scorable findings. Normalized **relative to this scan** (0–100; highest-loaded axis = 100):
+
+```
+if raw <= 0 → 0
+else → min(100, round(100 × raw / max(raw across all axes on this scan)))
+```
+
+This shapes the factor radar (which axes dominate on the current server). Corpus-wide benchmarking uses `absolute_risk` and `security_score`, not per-axis tiles.
+
+Packaged `dimension_p95` in corpus stats is retained for calibration scripts but is not used for `dimension_scores` display.
+
+## CI gates
