tegwick f36e2b789a Amend GOAL DoD-3 to the correlation triple; record the approval-engine exchange
Makes true what was already told to approval-engine: DoD-3 read
"reconstructable from a view_hash", which assumed the hash could ride into the
approval entry. It cannot — POST /entries discards its request body by design so
that record holds no caller-supplied data. Adopted their arrangement rather than
asking for a field, and recorded the consequence honestly: an auditor holding
only the approval object cannot reach the presentation without this surface's
record or audit-core.

Two invariants added to GOAL: approved is never rendered as permission to act,
and entitlement to view is access-engine's — a 200 from approval-engine is not
permission to see the approval.

T02 notes record that approval-engine found two real defects in the T03/T04
drafts, that their open questions A and B are now with key-cape because both
change an implemented registration, and that R3 remains open with an offer to
withdraw it if approval-engine considers it settled by its claim contract.

informed-decision

User interface for executive decisions, modelled as a sign-and-return book — the German Umlaufmappe / Zeichnungsbuch, made cryptographic.

A Decision Memo carries a question, the context needed to answer it, the requested act, and a binding between identity, what was shown, and what was bound. The promise is not "the file was signed" but "this person, in this role, was shown this view, and bound this act."

One object model from a ten-second login (L0) to a multi-party instrument (L5).

Stage 1

Own the browser-facing approver UI that approval-engine deliberately does not contain, and answer in writing who owns it. approval-engine is a bearer-token resource server with no browser client; key-cape (KEY-WP-0013-T02) is waiting on a client_id and callback URI that no component has claimed. This repository claims them.

See GOAL.md.

Boundaries

This repository renders questions and records answers. It does not decide (access-engine), does not own the approval object (approval-engine), does not author approval doctrine (gate-house), does not authenticate anyone (key-cape), and does not archive the trail (audit-core).
