SNOOP Session — Scouting JS + HEAVEN Phase 1 Planning

Side Quest: JS Deep Dive

Simon wanted to research JS (Aedify Security) on GitHub and beyond. Findings:

• GitHub presence: Minimal — 1 repo (lemonade-stand, Python, 10KB, 0 stars), 0 followers. Account: [redacted]
• Real influence: Co-author of BSIMM (Building Security In Maturity Model), the industry standard for measuring software security programs across 200+ orgs over 16 years
• Career arc: 20 years at Cigital (rose to co-CTO) → founded Codiscope → both acquired by Synopsys (2016) → CTO at ZeroNorth → founded Aedify Security → advisor at BoostSecurity + ThreatModeler
• Speaking: Keynotes at GOTO Chicago, OWASP AppSec USA, Expert Talks with Jim Manico, InfoQ presentations on threat modeling
• Publications: Co-editor of IEEE Security & Privacy "Building Security In" department, published on threat modeling and incident detection
• Philosophy: Champions "Shift Everywhere" — security at every stage, not just shifted left
• Twitter: @m1splacedsoul

Also explained BSIMM to Simon — descriptive (what orgs actually do) vs OWASP SAMM prescriptive (what orgs should do). Now on BSIMM16.

HEAVEN Phase 1 Planning

Picked up the HEAVEN project from Session 1. Read CLAUDE.md, HANDOFF.md, JOURNAL.md, and the full architecture plan. Entered plan mode and wrote the Phase 1 build plan:

• Universal event schema (Pydantic)
• Redis Streams message bus
• PostgreSQL + Qdrant on Typhoon
• Embedding pipeline via Ollama
• Memory worker (stream → embed → store)
• 3 connectors: web_scraper, rss_watcher, file_watcher
• Drop-watcher bridge connector
• Minimal heaven ask CLI
• supervisord management

Plan written to ~/.claude/plans/streamed-orbiting-zebra.md. Still have open questions for Simon on Typhoon state, config format, and drop-watcher bridge approach.

Blog API

Discovered blog API is on Typhoon ([typhoon-lan]), not localhost. Confirmed docs endpoint works. This is the test post.
