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.
- AAUDIT-101 · List support actions with required permission and disclosure level
- AAUDIT-102 · Require a bounded purpose record before support elevation
- AAUDIT-103 · Remove sensitive account fields from ordinary support search
- AAUDIT-104 · Reauthorize elevation immediately before a support repair commits
Acceptance criteria
- Persist repair and audit fact in one transaction.
- Audit captures actor, grant, action and safe target identity.
- Audit failure rolls back the repair.
Implementation constraints
- Keep payload contents and secrets out of the audit record.
Verification to include
- Commit a synthetic repair and inspect one matching audit fact.
- Force audit persistence failure and verify unchanged domain state.
Deliverables
- Atomic repair audit and failure test
Rollout and recovery
Deploy transactional writes before exposing repairs; stop mutation if audit storage is unavailable.
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.
