RuntimeError: RegionalSecurity.InvariantViolated at EastAsiaDeployment
$
SUMMARY
------------------------
Critical security invariant failed in the East Asia region, triggering an unexpected nuclear submarine proliferation race. Dependencies are misaligned.
$
DETAILS
========================================
1. Reproduction Steps
To replicate the current geopolitical instability, execute the following:
$ debugpost run security.korean_peninsula --env=production --debug-level=max
A warning message may appear indicating 'Legacy global security protocols bypassed' due to recent configuration changes.
Observe the rapid escalation in maritime strategic asset development.

INFO [2025-12-25T03:32:00Z] NORTH_KOREA_STATE_MEDIA_SVC: Disclosed '8,700-ton nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine' (status: complete).
DEBUG [2025-12-25T03:33:05Z] LEADER_KIM_JONG_UN_PARSER: Interpreted 'defend against negative security situation' and 'offensive act ... must be countered' directives.
INFO [2025-10-XXT10:15:00Z] US_TRUMP_ADMIN_POLICY: Approved South Korea's nuclear submarine acquisition program. This represents a significant shift in regional security architecture.
INFO [2025-12-XXT09:40:00Z] SOUTH_KOREA_GOV_TASK_FORCE: Initiated pan-government effort for nuclear submarine development. Seeking military-use nuclear fuel pact.
WARN [2025-11-XXT14:20:00Z] US_NAVY_ADMIRAL_CAUDLE: Explicitly stated expectation for South Korean subs to counter 'pacing threat, which is China'. This expands threat vector definition.
ERROR [2025-10-XXT11:55:00Z] PRESIDENT_LEE_REMARKS_HANDLER: Detected ambiguous reference to 'Chinese side' in submarine tracking capabilities. Potential for unintended diplomatic side-effects.
WARN [2025-XX-XXTXX:XX:XXZ] PUBLIC_OPINION_SVC: Invariant 'Allies align with US regional strategy' failed; majority of South Koreans prefer neutrality in US-China conflict.
FATAL [2025-XX-XXTXX:XX:XXZ] REGIONAL_NUCLEAR_DOCTRINE: Unhandled state – US administration 'pushing South Korea and Japan toward nuclear armament'. System stability compromised.

4. Post-Mortem Notes
REGRESSION: Rapid escalation in regional submarine arms race observed, contradicting previous de-escalation attempts.KNOWN ISSUE: US policy shift on burden-sharing appears to directly contribute to nuclear proliferation anxieties in allied nations.WORKAROUND: South Korea employing nuanced diplomatic language to avoid direct confrontation with major trade partners while pursuing enhanced defense.TODO: Investigate potential `System.Exit(international_sanctions)` scenario if South Korea fully commits to nuclear armament beyond submarines.FIXED: North Korea's previously ambiguous nuclear sub development status is now fully transparent (from their perspective).
