secrets-engine reports its PIP join is implemented and blocked on
deployment rather than contract. Reviewing its
validate_action_authorization against what this engine actually serves
shows that is not the whole story: it expects a state-hub-authority
ActionAuthorization (id, status, superseded_by, request,
approvals.entries, policy pin) while GET /v1/approvals/{id}/claim serves
the governed approval-claim (approval_id, state/valid_now, binding,
freshness, reason_code, issuer approval-engine).
Both envelopes declare schema_version 0.1, so the version check passes
and the mismatch surfaces as a field or authority error that reads like
an approval-engine outage.
Document the field-by-field divergence and why the omissions are
deliberate: a claim is a fact about an approval object, not a decision,
so approver identities and policy pins are not republished. Reconciling
the envelopes is a GH-DEC-2026-003 cross-repo change, so the governed
claim schema is left unchanged here.
No code change; 84 tests still pass.

approval-engine
The approval as a durable, authenticated, consumable object — issued before an action, verified at the moment of use, and provably not replayable.
An Engine, role PIP, in the NetKingdom security layer model (statute v0.7,
accepted; operative form net-kingdom/SECURITY-COMPANION.md). It answers one
question, totally and decidably:
Is this approval valid right now — for this exact action, target, actor, and purpose — and has it already been used?
It does not decide whether the action is permitted. That is access-engine,
which stays NetKingdom's only policy decision point. An approval is one input to
that decision.
Deliberately small, boring, and strict: atomic supersession and single
consumption are what make Canon test T-06 — Approval Replay passable.
Flexibility here would be a defect. Graded, evidence-based progression belongs to
maturity-engine; the two engines are deliberate opposites.

POST /v1/approvals/{id}/consume implements GH-DEC-2026-003: the PEP
atomically spends the approval before the protected side effect. Same-digest
retries are idempotent; a different digest conflicts.
Production operations, caller scopes, audit delivery, and PEP sequencing are
documented in docs/storage-operations.md, docs/caller-authentication.md,
docs/outbox-contract.md, and docs/pep-integration.md. The checked-in
StatefulSet deliberately refuses production startup without a migrated
persistent store, KeyCape JWT verification, and authenticated audit delivery.
