The statute is accepted at v0.7; the operative form is net-kingdom/SECURITY-COMPANION.md v0.2. INTENT now declares Engine / PIP in its own voice, carries the §9.6 threat decomposition, the load-bearing heartbeat obligation, issuer and freshness on the claim, consumption as a mutation, and the custody question closed rather than held open. SCOPE.md is the first-cut boundary (nothing shipped). layer.yaml is the machine-readable declaration. The review under history/ scores intent vs scope vs the empty implementation. APPROVAL-WP-0001 sequences contracts before code and keeps consumption unimplemented until GH-WP-0002-T06. Registered with State Hub as infotech / 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.
See INTENT.md and SCOPE.md. Declaration: layer.yaml.
