+Also consider (when the source is about scanning/guardrails):
+- **Noise is a bypass engine:** if the control is too noisy (false positives, flaky rules), developers will route around it. Do not claim this is true for a specific tool unless the source states it; treat it as a rollout failure mode to test for.

 - Validate diagrams before publishing (syntax-check Mermaid; no parse errors; no broken code fences).
