tegwick 45548e44a2 Admit live E2 from a value-safe custody receipt
WH-ENG-20260822-AUDIT-E2-02 projected and then aborted: admit-plane had no
receipt adapter, so the runner sent zero packets. Consume custody receipts
as handles only, keep unconnected admission fail-closed, and retire -02.

Engagement records

Copy template.json to a dated, target-specific record and have both the operator and target owner approve it before a live run. The runner validates the record at execution time and fails closed when it is incomplete, expired, outside its window, too permissive, or mismatched to the requested technique or route.

An engagement record contains authorization metadata only. Never put a token, password, database URL, secret path value, or real tenant identifier here.

Live admission also requires a matching file in targets/ and a plane lease from whitehat admit-plane. WH-ENG-20260821-AUDIT-E2 and WH-ENG-20260821-TENANT-E2 are cancelled and must not be reused. The pod manifest under runtime/ is bound to a cancelled ID and must not be applied.

WH-ENG-20260822-AUDIT-E2-01 expired unused. WH-ENG-20260822-AUDIT-E2-02 aborted after projection because admit-plane had no receipt adapter; zero packets. Neither identifier may be reused. Live admission requires --receipt of a value-safe custody projection.
