# Security case types and instance validation

Versioned types, cases and schema validation.

## Reuse boundary

Type acknowledgment, case acceptance, structural materialization and native execution are distinct.

## Supported use cases

- U01: Architect composes a security deployment from explicit owner contracts and case types
- U05: Operator provisions and delivers a scoped workload credential through the approved owner lane
- U06: Operator or automation obtains a bounded SSH certificate and maintains private connectivity

## Evidence and integration

- [tools/security-case-types/README.md](../../tools/security-case-types/README.md)
- [canon/standards/security-case-types_v0.1.md](../../canon/standards/security-case-types_v0.1.md)

Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.
