FLEX-IN-0002 asked for review of v0.3; v0.4 supersedes it, so the assessment is
against v0.4 plus the in-place section 11 amendment.
Assent, with one rule contested:
- Section 9.3 conflates two failure cases. Input degradation inside a reachable
engine is flex-auth's fallback and is accepted. Engine unreachability is not:
there is no evaluator in the path to express anything, which is why flex-auth
has held that fail-open is not expressible by a PDP at all. As written 9.3
also collides with ops-warden ADR-0009 (accepted, superseding ADR-0006),
which retires the global flag for a total per-zone map in the consumer PEP —
the correct design, since the alternative makes flex-auth a hard dependency
of the SSH certificate the tunnel carrying the policy call depends on.
- Section 13 names access-engine as intended owner of two capabilities never
reviewed here. Containment is plausible and recorded as proposed owner only.
Authentication/assurance evidence is declined as stated: flex-auth consumes
assurance claims and never re-defines them.
- Three consistency defects: frontmatter status proposed vs section 14
"accepted"; "seven of fifteen"/"remaining eight" against sixteen
estate-authored catalog rows and nine listed; "all three repositories" above
a table of four.
FLEX-IN-0002's two questions answered: the approval boundary unblocks T03
design, but T05 needs the approval claim bound to the same request digest
NewDecisionBinding computes, and a named owner and ordering for single
consumption. The maturity claim route works as a request claim, not as registry
content, until the self-declared provenance digest gap closes.
