Endura goes into RLC-H as a feature, not a standalone product - and no public noise until engineering has audited and stands behind it

Situation

Bjorn proposed white-labeling Endura as a value-add offering early next year and bringing Eric Sheridan on in a product role. Peter objected only to a standalone product offering (another thing to sell and track, unclear Core42 needs it); when Bjorn reframed it as a feature white-labeled into RLC-H, Peter said all his objections go away. After Greg flagged it as a month-long vibe-coded project, Peter added that there is no Lindsay launch or public noise until engineering has its arms around it, even if hardening takes two months; the code may be a prototype to learn from and rewrite, or 95 percent keepable. No exclusivity; Bjorn pushes the Eric meeting while Greg examines his concern.

Reasoning

Confirmed by Peter. The cost being guarded is company focus, not engineering effort - Peter told Greg it is no different from an engineering perspective; a new SKU spreads sales, marketing and support attention, a feature inside RLC-H does not. Shipping vibe-coded security functionality publicly and then fixing it in public would damage engineering credibility, so the no-noise condition stands separately. Valuing the idea over the code let Greg concern resolve without anyone needing to be right about code quality yet.

Additional Context

Greg asked Cedric (eBPF expertise) to review Eric project. Alex at Core42 indicated need for the capability.

Observed Evidence

Standalone product objection; objections go away as RLC-H feature; company perspective not engineering; no Lindsay launch until arms around it; prototype to learn from or keep 95 percent.
