Project context
A fictional support console can reveal protected account settings and run repairs. The team needs bounded elevation, clear reasons and durable records of what happened.
Setup prerequisites
- Create synthetic support actors and organizations.
- Implement a local authorization boundary and append-only audit store.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
Acceptance criteria
- Ordinary search returns an explicit minimal projection.
- Protected details require the exact active grant.
- Denied search responses do not reveal account existence across scope.
Implementation constraints
- Define response schemas at the service boundary.
Verification to include
- Find an account using permitted safe fields.
- Search outside scope and inspect response and logs for protected fields.
Deliverables
- Minimal support search projection
Rollout and recovery
Deploy projection before elevation rollout; disable broad debug search endpoints.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice privileged workflows, denial paths and audit integrity.
For the team: Review accountable support operations without unnecessary access to customer data.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
