Erich Blume 074887cd57 C0: docs — explanation article on compliance mute categories
Captures the CC vs NA vs RA distinction surfaced during the 2026-05-03
weekly compliance review (CVE-2026-31789), and the image-scan mutelist
gap that blocks acting on it. Links the new article from the
review-compensating-controls how-to so it isn't orphaned.

New explanation article compliance-mute-categories documenting the gap between current CC:-only mute tagging and the three structurally distinct categories (compensating control, not-applicable, risk-accepted) needed for real PCI DSS / SOC2 practice. Captures the current image-scan mutelist gap (cronjob-image-scan.yaml doesn't pass --mutelist-file) and proposes an order-of-operations for wiring it up alongside the new tag conventions. Triggered by CVE-2026-31789, an OpenSSL 32-bit-only finding that surfaced the need for an NA category.
