Digest-bound guide

Evidence Preflight client: bounded execution

How should execution be bounded for an Evidence Preflight client?

Bounded execution guide for Evidence Preflight client, with required inputs, ordered checks, refusal conditions, outputs, source roles, and an explicit authority boundary.

Bounded answer

Execute Evidence Preflight client only after binding the exact tool, method, endpoint, request digest, deadline, and resource ceiling to an authorized principal. Missing, stale, or broader selectors produce refusal rather than fallback.

This guide defines a request-control procedure. It is not evidence that an integration executed, a credential was entitled, or a delivery succeeded.

Input contract

What must be fixed first

Authenticated principal and tenant

Exact resource, tool, method, and endpoint

Active entitlement with scope and expiry

Replay-safe request identifier and content digest

Procedure

Work the decision in order

  1. 1

    Resolve the credential to one active principal.

  2. 2

    Bind the exact Evidence Preflight client selector and requested capability.

  3. 3

    Evaluate entitlement, quota, expiry, and revocation.

  4. 4

    Perform only the bounded operation or return a reason-coded refusal.

  5. 5

    Commit metering and a digest-bound receipt atomically.

  6. 6

    Acknowledge only the exact receipt produced by this lifecycle.

Expected outputs

  • Reason-coded allow or refuse decision
  • Bounded result or delivery reference
  • Metering and lifecycle receipt

Refuse when

  • Identity, endpoint, selector, or digest is missing or substituted.
  • The grant is absent, expired, revoked, exhausted, or broader than the request.
  • A replay carries different content or lifecycle state.

Subject-specific decision record

What a complete answer would require

Minimum evidence
Authenticated principal and tenant; Exact resource, tool, method, and endpoint; Active entitlement with scope and expiry; Replay-safe request identifier and content digest.
Pass condition
Return reason-coded allow or refuse decision, bounded result or delivery reference, metering and lifecycle receipt only after every required input and ordered check is satisfied.
Current result
No subject-specific result has been produced by this method guide.

Questions this guide answers

How should execution be bounded for an Evidence Preflight client?

What inputs must be fixed for Evidence Preflight client?

Authenticated principal and tenant; Exact resource, tool, method, and endpoint; Active entitlement with scope and expiry; Replay-safe request identifier and content digest.

What should a machine return for Evidence Preflight client?

Reason-coded allow or refuse decision; Bounded result or delivery reference; Metering and lifecycle receipt. Every output remains bound to the exact inputs and decision state.

When must a system refuse Evidence Preflight client?

Identity, endpoint, selector, or digest is missing or substituted. The grant is absent, expired, revoked, exhausted, or broader than the request. A replay carries different content or lifecycle state.
