The corridor
Scroll carries the camera through the same chain your stack has to preserve: context, authority, execution, evidence, outcome.
01 · Context
Knowledge arrives with provenance and permission attached, so the decision starts from accountable context instead of a prompt fragment.
02 · Authority
The grant is purpose-bound, limited, and single-use. Broad access stops being mistaken for permission.
03 · Evidence
Execution leaves a receipt, and the outcome is verified against the world it changed — not against the agent’s self-report.
04 · Autonomy
Verified work earns narrower, safer autonomy. Unverified work narrows the grant. Trust becomes a feedback loop, not a vibe.
The corridor is the chain. The test shows what breaks when any link is missing — attempt the merge, then issue the grant.
