Track; not yet

Why: Landmark case of a frontier AI model autonomously breaking a standards-track PQC candidate badly enough to force its NIST withdrawal -- but the break is exponential, HAWK-specific, and does not touch ML-DSA-65 (pragma.vision's actual quantum-safe signature choice). Real signal for the PQC landscape pragma.vision depends on; no ecosystem action required yet.
Next: Monitor for follow-on Mythos-style AI cryptanalysis aimed at ML-DSA-65 or other lattice schemes actually used in pragma.vision's Rule #2 hybrid signature verification; re-open only if NIST issues guidance touching deployed PQC parameters. HAWK itself was never part of the pragma.vision stack.
