/02 About

Automation and orchestration engineering reference for policy conflict detection and precedence, including policy, logical interfaces, recovery and assurance.

Purpose: Policy conflict detection and precedence. Domain: Automation and orchestration. Family: decision. Scenario trigger: Evaluate policy bundle containing overlapping rules. Input assurance: Rule scope, classification and ownership precedence. Evaluation: Detect contradictions, shadowing and obligations with conflicts. Governing policy: Deny precedence, exception ordering and conflict treatment policy. Resource-side obligation: Return deterministically resolved decision or explicit indeterminate. Protected concern: Enterprise authorization policy evaluation service. Logical interface: Rule identity scope priority conflict class outcome and source. Evidence: Rule conflict graph resolution rationale and affected resources. Failure: Unresolved mutually contradictory allow and deny rules. Required recovery: Reject ambiguous policy activation and request policy repair. Architectural invariant: Security-critical policy conflicts must never silently produce permit Adoption: replace reference roles with concrete owner-controlled services. Specify exact provider/consumer identities, schema fields and classifications, signal provenance and freshness, idempotency, authorization lifetime, timeout/retry limits, observation and tamper evidence. A denied or failed operation must not silently become a permitted one. Scope: original vendor-neutral, implementation-agnostic technical reference model. Illustrative logical components and behaviors are neither a deployed system nor evidence of regulatory compliance. Package identities remain stable within the package; cross-package semantic reconciliation requires separate explicit registry support.
