04 · Bounded change execution

Custodian

Perform a narrowly authorized remediation without collapsing governance and execution into one authority.

Designed for

Controlled engineering operations and teams that need bounded automated remediation.

Why it exists

An executor can drift beyond approved scope or act on an ambiguous target.

  • Remediation expands beyond authorization
  • Executor self-approval
  • Replay, duplicate execution or unattributable mutation

Product relationship

Part of a wider system

Conceptual product relationships; this diagram does not claim active technical integration.

  • Guardian assures and decides
  • Custodian executes the bounded authorized change
  • Evidence connects authorization, execution and completion

How it works

Custodian flow

  1. Authorized change
  2. Scope binding
  3. Execution
  4. Read-back / evidence
  5. Completion
A conceptual sequence showing the product boundary in ordinary professional language.

What it does

A bounded product response

  • Binds authorization to target and scope
  • Keeps proposer, approver and executor roles distinct where required
  • Reads back results as attributable evidence
  • Uses deterministic replay and ambiguity controls

Product evidence

A concise passport

Purpose
Perform a narrowly authorized remediation without collapsing governance and execution into one authority.
Current product state
Controlled remediation capability in active development
Evidence basis
Custodian architecture, execution contracts and negative-test evidence.
Human-controlled or bounded
Execution remains subordinate to explicit authority and scope; this is not broad autonomy or a claim of deployed cloud enforcement.
