Your next step

Review it, then add it to your workspace.

The board opens an editable draft; nothing is saved until you confirm it. Sign-in and workspace permissions apply, and Demo boards remain ephemeral.

Project context

A fictional content-import service accepts document URLs. The team needs explicit destination approval, redirect handling, and response limits before enabling imports.

Setup prerequisites

  • Create a local HTTP destination simulator and DNS double with authorized address cases; contact no real external hosts.

Preceding work

No earlier ticket is required. Complete the project setup above.

Acceptance criteria

  • Specify allowed scheme, hostname, port, and path scope.
  • Represent exact hosts separately from subdomain rules.
  • Reject unknown policy entries.

Implementation constraints

  • Use fictional destinations mapped only inside the local simulator.

Verification to include

  • Accept an exact approved destination.
  • Reject a lookalike hostname and unapproved port.

Deliverables

  • Destination policy schema.

Rollout and recovery

Default to deny until a reviewed policy exists.

Value of the work

For the engineer: Practice URL interpretation, network policy enforcement, and resource controls.

For the team: Provide a reusable fetch boundary that makes destination authority and failure behavior inspectable.

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.
