# FLEX-WP-0009 - user-engine production authorization
Provide the cluster-local flex-auth policy-decision service required by the
user-engine portal. The consumer contract is
net-kingdom/docs/user-engine-platform-expansion-contract.md.
## T01 - Pin the protected-system vocabulary
```task
id: FLEX-WP-0009-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "e940c5a3-ecb4-43d3-9554-2bfb422ec56d"
```
Add a user-engine protected-system manifest, resource manifests, subject
fixtures, and check-request fixtures. Cover self, tenant-admin, and
platform-admin actions over user, membership, invitation, tenant, recovery,
and outbox resources. Unknown resources/actions and cross-tenant requests must
deny.
Done when all manifests validate and the vocabulary matches the action and
resource strings emitted by user-engine.
Done 2026-08-09: `examples/user-engine` defines the dynamic protected-system
registry and verified-claim request vocabulary for platform, tenant-admin,
self-service, cross-tenant, missing-role, and wrong-system cases.
## T02 - Implement and verify the policy package
```task
id: FLEX-WP-0009-T02
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "6e0fe708-d7ff-411f-a64d-84a1692a6e11"
```
Implement policy-as-code for self-only mutations, tenant-admin authority
within one tenant, and platform-admin authority for tenant creation, recovery,
outbox delivery, and replay. Include allow, deny, missing-role, target-user
mismatch, cross-tenant, malformed-context, and stale-policy fixtures.
Done when fixture evaluation is deterministic, default deny is proven, and
decision envelopes contain stable decision IDs and policy provenance.
Done 2026-08-09: all six embedded Rego tests and all six request fixtures pass;
the package validates under CARING 0.4.0-rc2 and the registry loads cleanly.
## T03 - Deploy the cluster-local service
```task
id: FLEX-WP-0009-T03
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "f8293230-136d-4f2d-8d3f-bb9840ea7e63"
```
Publish an immutable flex-auth image and deploy a namespaced Service at
http://flex-auth.flex-auth.svc.cluster.local:8080. Apply least-privilege
security context, readiness/liveness probes, resource limits, default-deny
NetworkPolicy, and ingress restricted to approved protected systems.
Done when user-engine can reach POST /v1/check, an unrelated namespace
cannot, and restart/rollback procedures are documented.
Done 2026-08-09: immutable digest `sha256:a31961c45215aa6baf3bc748c6741ab703c2c8325e61aa7983a355026195e51b`
is deployed as `flex-auth-user-engine.flex-auth.svc.cluster.local:8080`, Ready
behind ingress restricted to the user-engine workload and with no egress.
## T04 - Hand back production evidence
```task
id: FLEX-WP-0009-T04
status: progress
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "97b931e9-ac5b-46c7-a462-e23c0c18c4f4"
```
Run live allow, deny, service-unavailable, and cross-tenant probes from the
user-engine namespace. Record only non-secret decision IDs, effects, reasons,
policy version, and correlation IDs. Send completion evidence to NK-WP-0024.
Done when user-engine can replace its local authorization bridge without an
availability bypass and the deployed failure matrix remains fail closed.
2026-08-09 live evidence: from the user-engine pod, `live-self` returned allow
with decision `decision:4bf95ebb989ac628`; the cross-tenant variant returned
deny/cross_tenant with decision `decision:bab072ce3ee72d98`. Runtime activation
remains gated on the separately owned event and mail receivers.
