Phase 196permission enforcement test design onlyFAEDA-EVIDENCE-AUDIT-RUNTIME-BUILD-APPROVAL-GATE-DESIGN-001

Evidence Permission Enforcement Test Matrix

Defines negative and positive permission tests for uploader, reviewer, checker, founder, support, auditor, data protection, security, and ops roles before runtime exposure.

Runtime approval Previous gate Next gate Control room

Runtime remains blocked

Can FAEDA prove blocked roles stay blocked even if the UI lies?

Runtime remains blocked. No live runtime is created here. This gate is allowed to clarify readiness, controls, blockers, and exit criteria. It is not allowed to create production runtime, mutate evidence, notify users, export data, delete records, or grant external access.

Approval focus

What this gate must prove

1

Every action must have allow, deny, cross-tenant deny, expired-scope deny, and self-approval deny tests.

2

Auditor access must be scoped, redacted, expiring, and revocable.

3

Support access must be minimized and audited.

4

Founder visibility cannot bypass privacy, legal, security, or data protection blocks.

Readiness checks

Checklist before next phase

1

role matrix is complete

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

2

self-approval denied

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

3

cross-tenant denied

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

4

expired scope denied

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

5

support minimized

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

6

auditor redacted

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

Blocked runtime

Blocked runtime actions remain locked

production evidence upload
real object storage write
live metadata mutation
queue worker mutation
notification dispatch
report export/download
external auditor grant
deletion/archive/purge
payment or settlement action
legal hold release

Exit criteria

How this gate becomes ready

1

Permission tests are ready for sandbox.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

2

Risky role combinations are visible.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

3

Backend remains final authority.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

4

Next phase can design dry-run validator.

Must be proven before this gate can move forward.

Audit fields

Future gate packet fields

phaseGateId

string

Stable id for the future approval or stub gate.

sourceGate

string

Previous gate or upstream evidence governance design.

mode

enum

design, local_stub, sandbox, test_matrix, qa_gate, pilot, release_control.

featureFlagKey

string|null

Disabled-by-default feature flag for future runtime.

killSwitchKey

string|null

Emergency stop control for future runtime.

makerRole

enum

Role preparing the gate packet.

checkerRole

enum

Independent reviewer role.

riskSummary

string

Founder-safe risk summary.

status

enum

draft, blocked, rework, approved_for_next_gate, rejected.

createdAt

datetime

Future packet creation timestamp.

updatedAt

datetime

Future packet update timestamp.

Hard rules

Safety sprint does not equal live runtime

1

This phase is design, readiness, stub, sandbox, QA, pilot, or release-control planning only.

2

Do not create production evidence databases, migrations, API routes, object storage writes, queue workers, schedulers, notifications, exports, downloads, deletion, archive, purge, public links, or external auditor access here.

3

Any stub must be disabled by default, demo-data only, feature-flagged, kill-switchable, audited, and unable to mutate live evidence.

4

Backend permission checks remain final. UI visibility is never security.

5

No provider credentials, signed URLs, raw file paths, CNIC, OTP, PIN, bank details, private notes, payment references, or raw transcripts may appear in the UI packet.

6

Every runtime move must preserve maker-checker separation, idempotency, audit events, rollback, redaction, retention, and founder visibility.

Next safe gate

Phase 197 should be evidence sandbox runtime dry-run validator

The next move stays within the controlled runtime safety sprint unless Phase 200 returns FAEDA to the main core app completion track.
