SCOPE / AUTHORIZATION GATE // GLASSCASTLE GATEHOUSE
Nothing enters the castle on assumption.
Bind an authorized security engagement to explicit objectives, target surfaces, rules of engagement, scope evidence, and operational constraints. Unknown, conflicting, stale, or incomplete authority becomes HOLD rather than implied permission.

GATEHOUSE PRECEDENCEFail closed. Preserve the strongest boundary.
Explicit exclusion outranks structured inclusion. Structured scope outranks prose inference. Unknown never upgrades itself.
ALLOWThe compiled scope contract permits this query within recorded constraints.
HOLDAuthority is ambiguous, incomplete, conflicting, stale, or otherwise unresolved.
BLOCKThe compiled contract contains evidence that forbids the query.
Authority is unknown, incomplete, ambiguous, contradictory, or otherwise unresolved.
Engagement BriefDeclare the human authorization context. Planning metadata never creates authority.
TARGET SURFACES
Policy SourcesCompile supplied evidence only. ScopeSentinel makes no target-network requests.
