+# T03 native review admission
+
+
+### T03 scoped review deployment — 2026-09-14
+
+The operator explicitly admitted `net-kingdom-admins` as the human review group
+for only the T03 apply, verify and read-only key-check records, separately from
+its credential-reader membership. The review service is live and ready at
+https://decisions.coulomb.social with verified KeyCape groups, fresh MFA and a
+dedicated caller-bound Flex Auth policy. Its mandate does not grant consumption.
+
+The new `secrets-engine-requester` client has subject `secrets-engine`, tenant
+`tenant:platform`, role `secrets-engine-requester`, and only `approval:create`.
+CCR-2026-0024 and CCR-2026-0025 provide distinct verifier and attended reader
+custody. Native signature, subject, scope and TTL checks passed; excess scopes
+and a wrong secret were refused. Existing consumer identity is unchanged.
+Three real requested approvals were created with human control, required count
+one, and zero entries. Platform evidence is
+`docs/evidence/2026-09-14-t03-native-approval-requests.json`.

+Policy image: sha256:c9f028b49dfcede930a9cc48757ec8371ecc71d20b1bfee2733e55298dffcc7c.
+Review tests: 339 passed, 39 optional integration tests skipped; 11 container
+checks and HIGH/CRITICAL image scan passed. Policy checks: 57 local and 6 native
+caller checks passed, using synthetic subjects, not human binding evidence.
+Approval Engine CPU request was reduced from 25m to 10m after observing 1m use;
+review requests 20m and its PDP 5m. Limits are unchanged. Native services ready.
+
+Remaining T03 gate: the operator's exact signed-in account is needed to address
+three prepared immutable memos, followed by real acknowledgements and acceptance
+in Informed Decision. No human entry or consume has been generated by an agent.
+Then execute claim -> validated PDP Check -> CAS consume separately for apply,
+verify and exec using scoped attended authority, and capture native denial,
+revocation, workload health and key-check evidence. No OpenRouter credential has
+been read and no inference or spend was performed. T03 remains waiting; this
+entry supersedes earlier statements that requester or group admission is missing.
