Authority is assumed but never verified

Scheduled · Week 3

Scheduled. The argument above is fixed and the essay is in draft. It will treat the vendor's own homepage sentence as a problem statement rather than a slogan, and work out what verification requires technically: an identity the receiving system can check, a capability grant narrower than the delegator's rights, and revocation that lands before the next call.

This piece feeds the governance and policy cell. If it changes the score, the change is logged on the record page with before and after values.
