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.
