Enterprise Governance
Enterprise governance is the layer that prevents deterministic execution from becoming uncontrolled execution. Approvals, capabilities, and environment posture determine when sensitive actions may proceed.
Use this page for orientation. Canonical approval and policy behavior belongs to the synced Enterprise docs and the enterprise operator flow.
What Governance Covers
Enterprise governance makes four inputs explicit before side effects are allowed:
- the target environment posture
- the requested capability or action class
- whether the request is dry-run or execute-mode
- the approval credential attached to the request
That is why governance belongs to the operator product layer rather than to the transport or execution substrate. Deterministic execution is necessary, but it is not sufficient for safe rollout or replay.
Verification Rules
Approval-aware execution should reject requests when the signing key is unknown, the signature is invalid, the approval targets the wrong environment, the credential has expired, or the capability coverage does not match the requested action. Those checks are part of the product contract, not optional policy sugar.
Audit Expectation
High-risk actions should leave durable evidence: who asked, what environment was targeted, what approval was attached, what capability was requested, and whether the request was accepted or denied. Missing audit coverage for an approval-sensitive action is a defect.
