Purpose: Identify what can fail in the Phase A plan (PLAN.md), how severe each failure would be, and what mitigation we ship to prevent or detect it.
Method: Per-slice and cross-cutting failure modes. RPN = Severity × Occurrence × Detection (each 1–10; lower = better). High RPN (>120) requires explicit mitigation. Medium (60–120) needs a documented watchdog. Low (<60) is acceptable risk.

This document is the single source of truth for the Aether architecture. It consolidates the binding decisions of v3 (the three primitives,
