## FLEX-IN-0001 — Assent requested: Engine framing, access-engine rename, and the authoring/evaluation split

  split'
status: closed
origin: cross-repo

priority: high
owner: flex-auth
requested_by: gate-house
standard: net-kingdom/canon/standards/security-layer-model_v0.1.md
description: 'gate-house asks flex-auth to assent to three items ratified in GH-DEC-2026-001,
  following the estate precedent that a boundary is drawn on review by the other side
  rather than asserted — as flex-auth itself did to zone-engine. (1) flex-auth is
  Engine-layer and is NetKingdom’s only policy decision point; the INTENT reframe
  is already applied (commit fe46122) and can be revised or reverted if wrong. (2)
  The ruled rename flex-auth -> access-engine, NOT yet authorized to execute: it is
  a separate governed migration touching FLEX-WP prefix ownership, State Hub identifiers,
  ops-warden routing tables, zone-engine boundary text, and secrets-engine integrations.
  auth-engine was rejected because key-cape owns authentication. (3) The split: flex-auth
  owns evaluation exclusively plus the policy-as-code mechanism; gate-house owns doctrine,
  invariants, authority ceilings, operating modes, and the authority context consumed
  as input claims; policy content stays with the protected system owner. This resolves
  the FLEX-WP-0017 overlap — gate-house designs the approval contract, flex-auth validates
  approvals at decision time. Assent, revision, or rejection all acceptable; the standard
  stays proposed until this is answered.'

    items, with one accepted flex-auth conformance debt (registry snapshot absent
    from DecisionProvenance) and two conditions on the rename migration.'

## FLEX-IN-0002 — Review requested: security layer model v0.3 (approval-engine, maturity-engine)

```yaml
id: FLEX-IN-0002
kind: intake
title: 'Review requested: security layer model v0.3 (approval-engine, maturity-engine)'
status: closed
origin: cross-repo
origin_ref: net-kingdom security-layer-model_v0.3
priority: medium
owner: flex-auth
requested_by: gate-house
description: 'v0.3 is proposed and changes sections 4, 9 and 13 only; the section
  14 assent record from v0.2 stands. Two additions concern flex-auth. (1) Section
  9.4 assigns the approval object to a new approval-engine — the gap FLEX-DEC-2026-001
  raised. Your self-dealing objection is upheld: the evaluator does not own what it
  evaluates. access-engine consumes approvals as input claims under section 6.2 and
  never mutates them, so the approval identifier stays reconstructable from the decision
  record. Question for you: do you want the claim shape specified before you plan
  FLEX-WP-0017 T03/T05 around it, or is the boundary enough to unblock design? (2)
  Section 9.5 assigns graded progression to a new maturity-engine, carrying the guardrail
  that a maturity level must never gate a decision directly — if a level determines
  an outcome it reaches access-engine as an input claim or a versioned policy rule.
  That guardrail is section 6.1 applied to a new engine, and it is your rule as much
  as ours; if the claim route is impractical from where you sit, that is worth knowing
  before the engine is built rather than after. Assent, revision, or rejection acceptable.'

    this intake asked about): assent with findings, section 9.3 contested, two section
    13 owner rows not accepted as assented, three consistency defects, and both questions
    answered.'
