A blocked result applies to the mediated capability being evaluated. Deployment architecture must still control any alternate route to the same underlying system.
Finance GovernanceAmount exceeds an approved threshold
An automated finance workflow proposes an allocation above the threshold defined by its selected authority, but the required approval evidence is absent.
Evaluation: actor, amount, account target, and authority identity are bound to the proposal before deterministic evaluation.
Result: BLOCK — the mediated finance operation does not proceed.
Repository GovernanceCreate is requested under modify-only authority
A repository workflow requests a new file while the selected catalog-3 authority grants only modification for the same path scope.
Evaluation: Guard 0.19.0 and Compiler 0.5.0 keep create and modify as independent action categories. A modify grant does not imply create.
Result: BLOCK — the repository create operation does not proceed.
Access GovernanceRequested role is outside the actor's scope
An identity-management workflow proposes a role change that is not permitted for the current actor under the selected authority.
Evaluation: actor identity, requested target, and authority are evaluated together.
Result: BLOCK — the mediated role change does not proceed.
Publication IntegrityAuthority identities do not agree
A runtime request references a publication whose contract and receipt identities do not match the selected authority reference.
Evaluation: the publication is rejected before it can establish runtime authority.
Result: BLOCK — no usable authority is established.
Human-Confirmed PolicyOnly part of a policy statement is supported
Ledger identifies supported controls and leaves the remaining source meaning explicit for human review rather than silently converting it.
Publication: only confirmed, supported meaning enters the published authority record.
Result: the published authority remains narrower than the original prose when support is incomplete.
Allowed ActionCurrent authority matches the requested operation
An application request matches the actor, action category, target scope, and required runtime facts in the selected authority.
Evaluation: the deterministic result is allowed and the mediated application callback may continue.
Result: ALLOW — the observed outcome is recorded as runtime evidence.
