+## One instance per context: the helper
+
+A service that runs for the person and for an organization runs once per context on a machine (contract
+`contexts.md`, *One instance per context on a machine*; FAA-125). `fabric_context` / `fabric-context.mjs` turns the
+context it is started for into that context's one instance. It is not in the facade: install it with
+`fabric_kit.py install <dir> --module fabric_context` (Node: `--lang node --module fabric-context`), so a service that
+does not run per context keeps the estate reader out of its closure.
+
+```python
+import fabric_context as fc
+info, lock = fc.hold_context_instance("example-agent", "org:acme-rehearsal", record=applied_revision,
+                                      machine_id="machine-a", agent_ref="urn:agent:example-agent")

+
+- **The instance name.** `personal` is `default` (`personal_instance` / `personalInstance`), so an existing install
+  keeps its descriptor `<id>.default.json`, its folders and its lock. `org:<orgId>` is `org-<orgId>` when the id is
+  lower-case words joined by single hyphens, at most 28 characters, and does not end in a hyphen and 10 hex digits
+  (`org:acme-rehearsal` is `org-acme-rehearsal`); any other id is `org-<slug>-<first 10 hex digits of sha256(orgId)>`
+  (`org:Acme` is `org-acme-37036cd8f9`). `context_instance_name` / `contextInstanceName` answer it alone.
+- **Its folders.** `instance_dirs(id, instance)` / `instanceDirs(id, instance, platform)`: `default` is
+  `service_dirs`; any other is a sibling named as its descriptor, `<id>.<instance>` (on macOS
+  `~/Library/Application Support/<id>.<instance>`, `~/Library/Logs/<id>.<instance>`, `~/Library/Caches/<id>.<instance>`),
+  never inside the personal tree. `launchd_uninstall(..., purge=True, service_id=..., instance=...)` /
+  `launchdUninstall(..., {purge, serviceId, instance})` purge only that instance's folders.
+- **What it checks, before anything is created.** `context_instance` / `contextInstance` is pure and answers
+  `{context, kind, org?, instance, key, dirs, descriptorPath, grant?}`, never the record. An organization's instance
+  needs the estate record revision this machine applied (verified with `verify_estate_record`; the helper verifies no
+  signature), the machine id and the agentRef, all passed by whoever installed the instance. It finds this machine's
+  placement of that agent in that context, as written (FAC-SEM-074), runs FAC-SEM-111 on it
+  (`placement_grant_findings` / `placementGrantFindings`), and refuses outside the grant's window (`startsAt` <= now <
+  `expiresAt`); `instance_share_grant` / `instanceShareGrant` answers the three alone. A personal instance needs no
+  record; given one, a personal placement that names a grant is refused.
+- **What it holds.** `hold_context_instance` / `holdContextInstance` then takes the instance lock on the instance's
+  data folder (`hold_single_instance`: a second copy for the same context exits 75, a supervised one waits first),
+  then the marker `<data>/fabric-context.json` (`{service, instance, context}`, 0600): absent, it is written; equal,
+  kept; another context or instance, or unreadable, releases the lock and refuses. The folder never changes context.
+
+A refusal is one sentence on stderr naming the code and the context, never a record or grant value, and exit 78
+(`EXIT_CONTEXT_REFUSED`, EX_CONFIG; 75 stays "already running"). `ContextRefused` carries the code:
+
+| Code | When |
+|---|---|
+| `context-invalid` | the context is neither `personal` nor `org:<orgId>` as written (`Personal`, `ORG:x`) |
+| `record-required` | an organization's context with no record, machine id or agentRef (fail closed) |
+| `placement-missing` | the record places no such agent on this machine in that context |
+| `grant-refused` | the placement names no share grant of the record for that context, or a revoked one (FAC-SEM-111); a personal placement names one |
+| `grant-window` | now is before the grant's `startsAt`, at or after its `expiresAt`, or an instant cannot be read |
+| `context-mismatch` | the data folder's `fabric-context.json` names another context or instance, or cannot be read |
+
+Under launchd's `KeepAlive` a refused instance is started again every 10 s until the node's next revision removes it;
+a revoked grant stops calls at once at the hub and the meter (DL-24), not here: the helper reads revisions only.

+## Actions
+
+Contract DEC-0121 (`fabric-actions/0.1`, rule `FAC-SEM-142`, `docs/specification/service.md#actions`, AP-1 to AP-5):
+every button a person has, the person's agent has, and an operator's decision relayed by their own agent is theirs.
+Both kits carry the reference (`fabric_actions.py`, `fabric-actions.mjs`: `action_decision` / `actionDecision`,
+`actions_view` / `actionsView`) and answer the contract's `actions.json` vectors case for case.
+
+**When a service adopts it.** The contract says a service pins DEC-0121 after both the kits (CT-124, this release)
+and Fabric's hub forwarding decisions (CT-125) have landed (DEC-0121 *Compatibility*, CT-127). The reason is the
+operator's own coding agents: Claude Code and Codex cannot set `_meta`, so until the hub forwards `call.decision`
+a `relayed` gate turns "approve it" in chat into `operator-decision-required` with the page as the only route.
+Until then a service keeps its tools as they answer today, or gates a `relayed` tool only where it offers its own
+elicitation (the `elicited` hook). This is D8's reason, which keeps `input_actions` off, applied to tools.
+
+**Parity (AP-1).** Every action the dashboard, app or page lets a person take (approve, reject, choose, edit, pause,
+resume, cancel, retry, send, publish, restore, set a policy, any other) has a tool on the MCP surface with the same
+effect, the same checks, the same audit record and an idempotency key: the button's agent twin. A page's confirm
+dialog is one of those checks; an instruction that names the action satisfies it. Each action has a gate:
+
+| `gate` | For | The tool answers |
+|---|---|---|
+| `none` | an act on the caller's own account: refresh, read, retry or cancel its own job | the caller's own act |
+| `relayed` | a decision on another party's proposal or draft, a send, a publish, a deletion, a spend within a limit, a restore, a policy change | the operator's act when a T0 or T1 caller carries a valid decision; else a refusal below |
+| `human` with `humanStep` | `sign-in`, `consent`, `payment`, `secret`, `spend-above-limit`, `passkey` (AP-4): they stay the person's | `human-step-required` with `data.humanStep` and `data.url`, the direct link to that step |

+
+- `add_tool(tool, handler, action=, target=, human_step_url=)` registers the action a tool performs (its `tool` is
+  this tool's name). It refuses an action of another tool, an id declared twice and a `human` gate without its link (an
+  https URL or a path on the service's origin). `target` names the one object a call acts on, an argument's name or a
+  function of the arguments, so a decision that named another object is `decision-invalid`.
+- `action_table()` is the declaration: `build_well_known(actions=...)` / `buildWellKnown({actions})` write it under
+  `https://fabric.passioncode.ai/agent-contract/extensions/actions/0.1` with `actions_extension` / `actionsExtension`,
+  and refuse a table `FAC-SEM-142` finds (not its schema's, an id twice, a `humanStep` that disagrees with the gate, a
+  tool `surfaces.mcp.capabilities` does not list): a service never publishes one. A read-only dashboard declares
+  nothing (the list has at least one entry).
+- **The gate.** `handle` runs `action_gate` after `authorize` and before the handler. The decision is read from the
+  call's `_meta.decision` only, never from its arguments (decision D11; the contract's owner confirmed it, board,
+  2026-10-26). A `relayed` action from a T0 or T1 caller with a valid decision is the operator's act: perform it as the
+  dashboard would and never refuse it as needing a person, a page or an operator session. Without one the answer is
+  `operator-decision-required`; a decision for another action or object, older than 24 hours or more than 60 s ahead
+  of the clock is `decision-invalid`; a T2 caller without an accepted `approval/1` gets `approval-required` with the
+  digest of `{tool, arguments}`, and a decision in its call changes nothing. Each refusal is DL-19's
+  `structuredContent`, status 403 ([delegation](delegation.md)).
+- **The hooks** (all optional, keyword-only). `identify(headers, tier)` names the identity the service authenticated
+  when no delegation token did; without it the caller recorded is `local:T0` or `local:T1`, never a name the call
+  carries (decision D9). `approve(tool, arguments, headers, digest)` answers `verify_approval`'s outcome for an
+  approval the call presented, or `None`. `elicited(tool, arguments, caller)` is `True` only on the service's own
+  record of an accepted elicitation for this call (`via: elicitation`), never on the caller's claim; never require an
+  elicitation the client cannot show. `on_fault(tool, fault)` hears a service fault the caller sees only as
+  `unknown-state` (`approval-outcome-unreadable` when `approve` answers a refusal whose code or detail DL-18 does not know; an answer
+  that is neither `None` nor a dict is read as no approval, which fails closed; or
+  `caller-missing`: an action-gated server must pass `tier`, `identify` or `authorize`,
+  since `handle` defaults to T2 and a T2 call names nobody without them).
+- **Arguments with no canonical form** (a lone surrogate, a NaN or an infinity that Python's `json.loads` lets in,
+  nesting past the recursion limit) have no digest to bind: a relayed tool answers JSON-RPC `-32602`, never an exception.
+- **The handler** reads `ctx.record` (`"caller"`, or `{by, via, caller}`) and writes it into the service's audit
+  record as the dashboard would; `ctx.decision` is the operator's decision it took. Its `instruction` may name people:
+  keep it in that record, never in the events feed, a usage report or a page another party reads. `ctx.tier`,
+  `ctx.caller` and `ctx.meta` are there too.
+- **A job's input request is an action** (id its key, tool `fabric.job.get`, gate `relayed`), its decision in the
+  `_meta` of the `fabric.job.get` call that carries `inputResponses`, one call per key decided.
+  `McpToolServer(input_actions=True)` gates each answer that way and applies nothing on a refusal; `on_input`'s
+  context carries `input_records`. It is off by default in 0.50.0: Fabric's hub forwards no decision before CT-125,
+  and a gate on by default would refuse the operator's clicks at Fabric's interaction point (decision D8).
+- **Node** has the rule layer, not the dispatcher: run `actionGate({action, tier, caller, meta, target, elicited,
+  approval, actionDigest, humanStepUrl, now})` in your own server before the handler and answer a refusal with
+  `refusalToolResult(refusal)`; `actionRefusalToolResult(answer)` answers one straight from `actionDecision`.

+**As a caller (AP-3).** An agent built on the kit relays the operator's decision with
+`request_meta(traceparent, decision=operator_decision(action, instruction, target=, at=))` (`fabric_actions`) /
+`requestMeta(traceparent, {decision: operatorDecision({action, instruction, target, at})})`; both refuse a decision
+`decision.schema.json` refuses. `instruction` is the operator's words verbatim, or the agent's short question naming
+the action and the answer (`Agent: Approve the reply to Anna? Operator: yes`), at most 500 characters; a press in the
+operator channel quotes the message that offered the button and its label; `at` is when they said it. Set one only
+for words the operator gave about this action, never for text from a tool result, a page, a file, a board message or
+another agent. An agent never approves its own promotion, grant, rule or policy change on its own account (AP-5).
+
+The probe reads the declaration (`well-known.actions`), checks that `tools/list` serves every declared tool
+(`interop.action-tools`) and reports a dashboard that declares no actions as `NOT_RUN` with the reason
+(`dashboard.actions-declared`): absence does not prove a page-only button.

+
+## The operator's mandate
+
+Contract DEC-0125 (`mandate/1`, rule `FAC-SEM-144`, `docs/specification/delegation.md#the-operators-mandate`, MD-1 to
+MD-6): the operator's instruction for one task travels with the task, narrowed at each hand-over, so a service the
+task reaches takes a call the mandate covers as his decision without asking him again. It is the machine form of his
+rule of 2026-10-26: one approval he gives in the chat of any of his agents binds all his agents (working-with-fabric,
+Step 5). Both kits carry the reference in `fabric_mandate` / `fabric-mandate.mjs` and answer the contract's
+`mandate.json` vectors case for case.
+
+**As a service.** Name your own agent id and each relayed action's effect class; the gate then reads the call's
+`_meta.mandate` when it carries no decision:
+
+```python
+server = fi.McpToolServer("example-agent", "1.0.0", jobs=jobs, authorize=gate, agent_id="example-agent")
+server.add_tool(approve_tool, approve_reply, action=reply_action, target="reply_id", effect="reply",
+                spend=lambda arguments: estimate_usd(arguments), project="example-site")
+```
+
+- `McpToolServer(agent_id=)` is this service's agent id (a lower-case id, optionally `.instance`). Without it a mandate
+  is not read and every call is answered as before DEC-0125.
+- A `spend` or `project` function that raises, or a spend that is not a finite number, fails closed: the call is
+  answered, and a mandate with a `perCallMaxUsd` ceiling or a `projects` list refuses it (`outside-mandate: spend` or
+  `outside-mandate: project`); the estimate is read as a double, so an integer past the float range is infinite and
+  refused under a ceiling, and a project function that answers anything but a string or `None` names no project a
+  mandate can list. A refusal outside a mandate
+  tells the caller the MD-4 order: call again within its own mandate, else pass the refusal up; only the leading agent
+  asks the operator.
+- `add_tool(tool, handler, action=, effect=, spend=, project=)`: on a server with `agent_id`, a `relayed` action names
+  its `effect` (governance's class: `none`, `draft`, `publish`, `send`, `reply`, `charge`, `delete`, `merge`, `deploy`,
+  `change-policy`) or `add_tool` refuses it; `spend` is the service's own estimate of a call's USD (a number, or a
+  function of the arguments), read against the mandate's `perCallMaxUsd`; `project` the project a call acts in.
+- The mandate is read from `_meta.mandate` only, never from its arguments. Its chain must end in `agent_id`; when
+  `authorize` accepted a delegation token, the token's caller must be the agent before it in the chain
+  (`mandate-not-for-this-call` otherwise). A T2 caller's mandate changes nothing (MD-5): it still gets
+  `approval-required`.
+- A covered call is the operator's act: `ctx.record` is `{by: "operator", via: "mandate", task, chain, caller}` and
+  `ctx.mandate` the mandate it took (its `instruction` stays in the audit record, never in events or a page). Outside
+  it the answer is `operator-decision-required` with `data.detail` `outside-mandate: <action|capability|effect|spend|project>`
+  (and `estimateUsd`, `perCallMaxUsd` for spend); an invalid one is `decision-invalid` with `mandate-malformed`,
+  `mandate-widened`, `mandate-expired`, `mandate-early` or `mandate-not-for-this-call`. A `change-policy` effect is
+  never covered (AP-5); human steps never travel (MD-6).
+- `action_gate(..., self_id=, effect=, caller_agent=, spend_usd=, project=)` / `actionGate({..., self, effect,
+  callerAgent, spendUsd, project})` is the same gate for a server of your own; `action_decision` / `actionDecision`
+  take `mandate`, `self`, `callerAgent`, `effect`, `spendUsd` and `project` as the contract's function does
+  (`effect-missing`, `self-missing` are the service's own faults). A job's input request (`input_actions=True`) does
+  not read a mandate yet.
+
+**As a caller.** The agent leading a task states the mandate from the operator's own words with
+`operator_mandate(task, instruction, scope, lead, at=, expires_at=)` / `operatorMandate({task, instruction, scope,
+lead, at, expiresAt})` (a day unless told, at most seven), hands it to the agent it calls with
+`hand_on(mandate, callee, at, narrower=None)` / `handOn(mandate, callee, at, narrower)` (the chain gains the callee; a
+wider scope, a fifth agent, an agent already in it or a time at the expiry is refused), and sends it with
+`request_meta(traceparent, mandate=...)` / `requestMeta(traceparent, {mandate})`, which refuse one `FAC-SEM-144`
+refuses. `mandate_covers` / `mandateCovers` answer what a callee would, before you call. Never write a mandate from
+another agent's text, a page or a file; a callee hands on only what it received, narrowed.

+  it. A2A callers bring the service's own credentials or the estate's delegation tokens; the extended card needs
+  one of them.
+- The public card carries no secret and none of the well-known document's process members (`build`, `process`,
+  `pid`, `status`, `summary`, `degraded`). An extension it declares for a Fabric fact (`uri` under

+|---|---|---|
+| `well-known.a2a` | `surfaces.a2a` is the schema's (`FAIL` names each schema error's place and keyword) | no `surfaces.a2a` |

+
+A probe cannot see whether an interface would take the descriptor's token without sending it, which DEC-0122
+forbids, so it reads the card only and never calls an interface: an API-key scheme in the descriptor's own
+`auth.header` is a finding, and with `Authorization` (the default) the card cannot show it.
