secrets-engine's PEP validator expects a flex-auth ActionAuthorization
but calls the governed claim endpoint. Research shows this is a
confirmation rather than a redesign: GH-DEC-2026-003 already names
GET /v1/approvals/{id}/claim as step 1 by endpoint and by field
(valid_now, which ActionAuthorization does not have), and
ActionAuthorization appears zero times in gate-house and state-hub. It
originates in flex-auth's own doc, which calls it a *proposed* shape for
the durable approval object that the same doc assigns to approval-engine.
Its required authority == state-hub also contradicts flex-auth's prose
that State Hub is not the runtime approval authority.
Request asks gate-house to confirm the claim is the step-1 artifact and
that ActionAuthorization is not required there, with PEPs validating
across the claim and the step-2 DecisionEnvelope they already fetch. No
safety property is lost; each check returns to the layer owning the data.
Records a ratified post-decision ActionAuthorization as a deferred option
with explicit revisit triggers, plus the constraint that such an object
cannot be served from the step-1 call, so it is not rediscovered later.
Also records why serving it at the claim endpoint and additively
extending the claim were rejected.
Files APPROVAL-IN-0002 to track the request. Docs only; 84 tests pass.

NetKingdom statute §17 calls for a shared request-claim schema, but ownership
remains unassigned. approval-engine published a local approval claim contract
with explicit issuer, freshness, and binding digests and marked it as yielding
to the future Taxonomy artifact. Route this intake when the Taxonomy owner is
assigned; preserve mechanical replay and freshness semantics during adoption.

secrets-engine's PEP validator expects a flex-auth ActionAuthorization but
calls GET /v1/approvals/{id}/claim, which serves approval-engine's governed
approval-claim. GH-DEC-2026-003 already names the claim as the step-1
artifact, and ActionAuthorization is an unratified flex-auth proposal absent
from gate-house and state-hub. Requests gate-house confirm the claim is the
step-1 artifact and that ActionAuthorization is not required on that path;
a ratified post-decision ActionAuthorization is recorded as a deferred
option with revisit triggers. Full request in
docs/gate-house-decision-request-claim-envelope.md. Does not gate
APPROVAL-WP-0002-T03.
