Declare the layer in layer.yaml, check it against INTENT.md, and fail
make check on a new Tooling client or HTTP decision surface. Record the
six statute §10 artifacts for the 2026-08-23 cut, name access-engine on
the README, and offer a non-schema PIP field mapping to Taxonomy.

Enforcement controls in this estate have been repo-wide booleans. ops-warden's
flex-auth pre-sign gate was the first to become flippable, and flipping it would
have made flex-auth a hard dependency of every warden sign — including the SSH
certs the ops-bridge tunnels depend on, one of which carries the policy call.
Uniform enforcement across an estate under deep refactor hardens exactly the
access needed to perform the refactor. Deferred under ops-warden ADR-0006; this
repo is what that ADR defers to.
Seeded deliberately without a schema. ZONE-WP-0001 produces a model and a canon
draft, not an API: an engine that ships a wire format before it has partitioned
the real estate defines the model by accident. Whether a runtime is warranted is
an output of the exception-lifecycle task, not an assumption.
Invariants set now, because they are the ones easy to lose later: flex-auth
stays the only PDP and receives membership by compilation, not a synchronous
lookup in a latency-critical decision path; placement (reefs) is not posture;
accuracy not altitude, per tenancy-posture v0.1 §6.
