Extend the tenant-engine write-API policy package with tenant.update, tenant.retire, and tenant.reactivate, the three actions TEN-WP-0005 introduced. Until now every lifecycle mutation resolved to deny unknown_action, blocking TEN-WP-0005-T05 production rollout. - policy_package.md: three actions in valid_actions and frontmatter; CARING capabilities extended with EditAny/Archive/Restore - protected_system_manifest.yaml, subject_manifest.yaml, and the rebuilt registry_snapshot.json carry all seven actions - docs/tenant-engine-action-vocabulary.md documents the HTTP surfaces - 8 new fixture pairs and 5 new Rego tests, including action-drift guards (tenant.retired, tenant_update -> unknown_action) T02 decision, recorded in policy_package.md: tenant.retire does NOT get stricter authorization yet. With one service subject and no assurance claim in the CheckRequest there is nothing stricter to check, and a condition the sole caller always satisfies would falsely read as separate control. Retirement is reversible and non-destructive. Revisit on KEY-WP-0005 assurance claims or a second operator subject. Verified: 11/11 Rego tests, 16/16 fixtures, go test ./... green, gofmt and go vet clean. End-to-end against a live serve with a real tenant-engine through the unmodified FlexAuthWriteAuthorizer: update 6176c39c2f4d7b15, retire 8a801b8ee8455080, reactivate c64cf3713cecd970 all allow; unregistered actor denied unknown_subject (59d3e99c6416be89, 403 write_denied). Handoff revision for TEN-WP-0005-T05: package tenant-engine.write-api.mutate v1 (ready, caring-0.4.0-rc2). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

tenant-engine Action Vocabulary
This document defines the action vocabulary for tenant-engine as a
flex-auth protected system (FLEX-WP-0008-T01). Action names here match
tenant-engine's own authz.FlexAuthWriteAuthorizer mapping exactly
(tenant_engine/src/tenant_engine/authz.py) — coordinated between the two
repos, not independently invented.
| Action | tenant-engine write endpoint | Resource type | Decision effects |
|---|---|---|---|
tenant.create |
POST /tenants |
tenant |
allow, deny |
tenant.role.grant |
POST /tenants/{id}/roles/grant |
role-grant |
allow, deny |
tenant.role.revoke |
POST /tenants/{id}/roles/revoke |
role-grant |
allow, deny |
tenant.plan.assign |
POST /tenants/{id}/plan |
plan-assignment |
allow, deny |
tenant.update |
PATCH /tenants/{id} |
tenant |
allow, deny |
tenant.retire |
POST /tenants/{id}/retire |
tenant |
allow, deny |
tenant.reactivate |
POST /tenants/{id}/reactivate |
tenant |
allow, deny |
The last three are the tenant lifecycle actions added by FLEX-WP-0010 for
TEN-WP-0005. They are three actions rather than one tenant.write because
tenant-engine separated them so policy can permit renaming a tenant without
thereby permitting retiring it. Under the current single-operator model all
three resolve identically — the separation is a seam for later, and the
reasoning for not yet treating tenant.retire more strictly is recorded in
examples/tenant-engine/policy_package.md.
These are the only seven actions tenant-engine sends to POST /v1/check —
its FlexAuthCheckClient (TEN-WP-0003) never sends anything else, and
tenant-engine's reads (/roles, /roles/live) are never gated through
flex-auth at all; they're tenant-engine's own cache-read and live-lookup
endpoints, consumed by key-cape and flex-auth respectively.
Not in scope for this vocabulary
tenant-engine's capability roles (PLTF/IAM/VEN/CUS, ADR-0014) are
tenant state — what a tenant is allowed to do on the platform. This
vocabulary governs a different question: which operator/service
subjects are allowed to call tenant-engine's admin API at all. The
lifecycle actions do not change that boundary: tenant.retire asks whether
this caller may retire a tenant, not what a retired tenant may still do —
the latter is tenant state that tenant-engine enforces itself. The two
must not be conflated — a policy package that checked a caller's action
against a tenant's capability roles would be checking the wrong thing.
See examples/tenant-engine/policy_package.md's Rules section for how the
distinction is enforced.
