+ ## [0.34.0] — 2026-10-15
8
+
9
+ **`requireAuthorityLevel`: the policy that makes 分权限 real, and why it is a flag rather than a default.**
10
+
11
+ `docs/1.0.0-ACCEPTANCE.md` §3.11 recorded the gap plainly — the gate is **off unless configured**, so a
12
+ default install dispatches exactly as it did before the permission model existed, and **"off unless
13
+ configured" cannot be part of a 1.0.0 that claims 分权限.**
14
+
15
+ `requireAuthorityLevel: true` (or `W2M_REQUIRE_AUTHORITY_LEVEL`) closes it for a machine that asks. Measured,
16
+ the whole truth table:
17
+
18
+ | `requireAuthorityLevel` | level | result |
19
+ |---|---|---|
20
+ | off | unset | **starts**, gate unenforced |
21
+ | off | chosen | starts, gate enforced |
22
+ | **on** | **unset** | **refuses to start** — `AUTHORITY_CHOICE_NOT_CHOSEN` |
23
+ | **on** | **unusable** | **refuses to start** — `AUTHORITY_CHOICE_UNKNOWN` |
24
+ | on | chosen | starts, gate enforced |
25
+
26
+ A refusal names the four choices, so it is fixable from the message alone, and a machine that opted in says
27
+ so in `w2m_status` — a reader can tell "asked and answered" from "never asked".
28
+
29
+ ### Why opt-in, which is a deliberate limit rather than a hedge
30
+
31
+ Refusing unconditionally would be the honest reading of *"a permission system that is off is untested in
32
+ production"* — and it would also **stop every machine running an earlier version the moment it upgraded**,
33
+ because none of them has a level. That trade is one silent failure for a loud outage, and **an outage is not
34
+ a security property.**
35
+
36
+ **So the gap is narrowed, not closed, and the document says so** rather than letting the flag's existence
37
+ imply otherwise. A fleet that never sets it is exactly as unenforced as before.
38
+
39
+ ### `W2M_REQUIRE_AUTHORITY_LEVEL=0` means off
40
+
41
+ Asserted, because a truthiness test would read the string `"0"` as set-and-therefore-on and **refuse to start
42
+ a machine whose operator explicitly wrote zero.**
43
+
44
+ ### My own errors, both of them syntax rather than logic
45
+
46
+ * I wrote `await` inside a **non-async arrow** passed to `assert.rejects`, which does not parse. `node --check`
47
+ caught it immediately; the fix is to compute the state directory first, because making the arrow async would
48
+ change what it does.
49
+ * I asserted refusal codes against the **message text**; the codes live on `error.reason_code`, which is the
50
+ field a consumer branches on. **The code was correct and the assertion was looking in the wrong place** —
51
+ now it pins the field.
52
+
53
+ **6 new tests, 0 failures.**
54
+
55
+ ## [0.33.0] — 2026-10-15
56
+
57
+ **The authority level is chosen by name. Nobody types a number.**
58
+
59
+ `actorAuthorityLevel` is an integer in `0..100` whose four bands have names and gaps. Asking a person to type
60
+ it asks them to hold all of that in their head, and **getting it wrong fails silently**: `69` and `70` look
61
+ equally arbitrary and land in different bands, so a machine configured one point low **refuses a dispatch it
62
+ should have run and never says a threshold was the reason.**
63
+
64
+ `src/agent/authority-choice.mjs` turns the number into a choice:
65
+
66
+ | Choice | Level | What picking it permits |
67
+ |---|---|---|
68
+ | `ordinary` | **0** | create goals and session data within its own scope |
69
+ | `captain` | **50** | create team goals, manage team membership |
70
+ | `org_admin` | **70** | create organisation goals, register actors, set overrides |
71
+ | `system_admin` | **90** | create global goals, configure across organisations, override any lower constraint |
72
+
73
+ The options are **built from `AUTHORITY_BANDS`**, so a band added to the model appears here without anybody
74
+ remembering — and a band cannot be described in two places differently.
75
+
76
+ ### A name resolves to its band FLOOR, and the consequence is stated
77
+
78
+ The floor is where the band's own description becomes true, and it is what `bandOf` answers with. Resolving to
79
+ a midpoint would mean **a choice labelled "captain" silently granting more than captain.**
80
+
81
+ The practical consequence is worth writing down because it decides what a machine may do: **`ordinary`
82
+ resolves to `0` and `dispatch_writing` costs `50`, so a machine whose operator picks "ordinary" cannot
83
+ dispatch a write at all** — it escalates and an approver must answer. Measured, all four:
84
+
85
+ ```
86
+ ordinary level 0 -> write dispatch: needs_approval
87
+ captain level 50 -> write dispatch: allow
88
+ org_admin level 70 -> write dispatch: allow
89
+ system_admin level 90 -> write dispatch: allow
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ ### Two vocabularies, and two different callers
93
+
94
+ **A number is refused by the selector**, because a selector that also accepts integers is a text field with a
95
+ helpful hint and every reason above applies again. **A number is accepted by the config**, because a profile
96
+ patch written by an earlier version must keep loading — and breaking every existing machine on upgrade is a
97
+ worse failure than accepting a number from a file nobody is looking at. The two rules are stated in one place
98
+ and tested against each other, including that the selector refuses `'captain '` while the config trims it.
99
+
100
+ ### A misconfigured level no longer degrades in silence
101
+
102
+ `w2m_status` now reports `actor_authority` — whether it resolved, from which vocabulary, and **why not when it
103
+ did not, with the four choices attached**. A level that failed to parse used to become `null`, which reads
104
+ exactly like a machine that never chose one, and **those two need opposite responses.**
105
+
106
+ ### Three of my own errors
107
+
108
+ * I asserted `UNKNOWN` for the integer `70`; it is `NOT_A_STRING`, because the codes distinguish "a number was
109
+ given" from "a string that did not match" — **on purpose, so a caller can message them differently.**
110
+ * I reused the selector's message in the config resolver, so a config author was told about names only while
111
+ **that function's own contract promised numbers too.** The implementation was changed, not the test.
112
+ * My captain test asserted success and instead reached the network, because it installed no fetch stub. **That
113
+ failure was the proof**: it did *not* throw `W2M_PERMISSION_*`. The assertion now checks the kind of failure
114
+ rather than the absence of one, which is what the test was always about.
115
+
116
+ **18 new tests, 0 failures.**

  `actorAuthorityLevel` is **unset by default**, and an unset level means the gate reports `enforced: false` and
65
- changes nothing. So today, **a default install dispatches exactly as it did before the permission model
66
- existed.** The reasoning is in `permission.mjs` and it is sound as far as it goes: treating an unset level as
67
- `0` would refuse every writing dispatch on every machine that never opted in, breaking a working fleet to
68
- enforce a policy nobody asked for.
69
-
70
- **But "off unless configured" cannot be part of a 1.0.0 that claims 分权限**, because a permission system that
71
- is off is a permission system that is untested in production. The question this file puts to a reader is
72
- therefore concrete:
73
-
74
- > **Should 1.0.0 require `actorAuthorityLevel` to be set, refusing to start without one — or should it ship
75
- > with the gate off and say so in the README?**
76
-
77
- Both are defensible. Silence is not, and neither is claiming 分权限 while it is off.
67
+ changes nothing. So a default install dispatches exactly as it did before the permission model existed.
68
+
69
+ **0.34.0 adds `requireAuthorityLevel`** (or `W2M_REQUIRE_AUTHORITY_LEVEL`), which closes it for a machine that
70
+ asks for it to be closed. Measured, the whole table:
71
+
72
+ | `requireAuthorityLevel` | level | result |
73
+ |---|---|---|
74
+ | off | unset | **starts**, gate unenforced |
75

77
+ | **on** | **unusable** | **refuses to start** — `AUTHORITY_CHOICE_UNKNOWN` |
78
+ | on | chosen | starts, gate enforced |
79
+
80
+ **Why it is opt-in, which is a deliberate limit rather than a hedge.** Refusing unconditionally would be the
81
+ honest reading of *"a permission system that is off is untested in production"* — and it would also **stop
82
+ every machine running an earlier version the moment it upgraded**, because none of them has a level. That
83
+ trades one silent failure for a loud outage, and **an outage is not a security property.**
84
+
85
+ **So the gap is narrowed, not closed.** A fleet that does not set this flag is exactly as unenforced as
86
+ before, and this document says so rather than letting the flag's existence imply otherwise. **The remaining
87
+ question for 1.0.0 is whether shipping a flag is enough, or whether the default must flip** — and that is a
88
+ decision about who this release is for, not a defect to fix.

+ * This module turns the number into a choice. A caller presents {@link AUTHORITY_CHOICES} — four names with
13
+ * the sentence each one means — and gets back the level. **The number is never asked for.**
14
+ *
15
+ * ## Why a name resolves to its band FLOOR
16
+ *
17
+ * Each band spans a range and this picks the bottom of it, deliberately. The floor is the level at which the
18
+ * band's own description becomes true, and it is what `bandOf` answers with: a machine at the floor is *in*
19
+ * that band and no higher. Resolving to the midpoint or the ceiling would mean a choice labelled "captain"
20
+ * silently granted more than captain.
21
+ *
22
+ * **The consequence is worth stating plainly, because it decides what a machine can do:** `ordinary` resolves
23
+ * to `0`, and `dispatch_writing` costs `50`. So a machine whose operator picks "ordinary" **cannot dispatch a
24
+ * write at all** — it escalates, and an approver must answer. That is the intended reading of the label. It
25
+ * is also why this is a policy decision rather than a convenience: **the name a person picks decides what the
26
+ * machine is allowed to do.**
27
+ *
28
+ * ## Why a number is refused rather than accepted alongside the names
29
+ *
30
+ * A selector that also accepted integers would be a text field with a helpful hint, and every reason above
31
+ * would apply again. Refusing them keeps one way in, and the refusal names the four that exist.
