      absent. buf.build returns its SPA shell (soft-404) and api.buf.build returns a plain
      404. No RFC 9116 file is served anywhere on the estate.
  bug_bounty:
    result: 'none found — no HackerOne, Bugcrowd or Intigriti program surfaced.'
  disclosure_policy_page:
    result: 'none found — no /security or /security-policy page; both return the SPA shell.'
  trust_center:
    result: 'none — trust.buf.build and security.buf.build do not resolve (NXDOMAIN).'
gap: >-
  Buf publishes a working security contact but nothing machine-readable: no security.txt,
  no disclosure policy, no stated response SLA or safe-harbour language. Adding an RFC 9116
  file naming security@buf.build would be a one-file fix.
