This note aims to introduce authority leases that ensure safe execution in automated processes and identify failures related to evidence validity.
Introduced authority leases as execution contracts for various automation components.
Outlined a framework using frozen masked review sets and fail-closed measurement checks to identify evidence validity failures.
Utilized local diagnostic replay and synthetic negative controls to assess execution-time authority versus decision-time evidence.
Identified a local class of action-time evidence-validity failures in automated systems.
Clarified the distinction between evidence and action permission, suggesting that observation does not equate to valid execution authority.
