The governance entitlement matrix

Included from Basic tierpacks:change-governancepacks:security-governancepacks:agent-governance

One table for every governance RPC: which authorisation determination admits the caller, which pack entitlement the surface sits behind, which step-up floor the verb carries, and which audit event a successful call records. The table is rendered from, and pinned by, the server's own conformance tests: the rows must cover the procedure census exactly, agree with the authorisation registry and the audit contract, and match this page verbatim — so the table cannot drift from the code.

How to read the columns:

Authorisation determination — the rule-path families (/metadata<node path>, /governance/<surface>, /governance/change<scope>, /governance/owners<node path>, /git/content<node path>/<repository path> — the repository-content reads content() / list() make by expression, opschain docs expressions) are delegable path-RBAC grants on the user plane, never implied by node write authz or admin status; /admin updatable is the function-level admin-plane determination. A denied rule-path caller answers permission_denied; a denied node read answers not_found (404-on-deny), and list rows the caller cannot read are silently filtered.
Pack entitlement — a missing pack answers the typed ERROR_REASON_PACK_ENTITLEMENT_REQUIRED refusal naming the pack and tier. Gating follows the funnel posture: controls stay ungated, admin/attest surfaces are gated, and a lapse is polite and non-destructive (see opschain docs entitlements).
Step-up floor — the verb demands a live elevated session; without one the call answers ERROR_REASON_STEP_UP_REQUIRED (or ERROR_REASON_MFA_ENROLMENT_REQUIRED for a factor-less platform session). See opschain docs identity and opschain learn 7.4.
Audit event — the event a successful call records (see opschain docs events). — on a mutating verb never occurs; a *-marked event is recorded by the run-release layer rather than the RPC handler itself.

Notes:

RecordCampaignDecision records the decision in the shared approval grammar: audit:review_campaigns:approve, reject or flag per the decision recorded (retain/revoke/flag).
An approval policy carrying require_step_up additionally puts the matched run create on the floor (change_governance.execute) — a policy column, not a per-RPC one. BreakGlassRelease is deliberately not on the step-up floor (break-glass is the exemption).
The campaign-closure attestation appends to the evidence ledger without the security-governance pack: ledger recording is base posture; the auditor read/verify/attest/hold surfaces are the pack.
Metadata writes touching a protective field (core.criticality, core.data_sensitivity, core.external_exposure, core.image_provenance) carry the conditional metadata.protective_write floor; non-protective writes skip it.

Every row is backed by behavioural proofs in the server's test suite: the step-up floors, the pack refusals and the deny behaviour are each asserted against the live procedure census, so a surface cannot ship with a weaker gate than the row above states.
