Emits an immutable audit event for every observation and action; never uses shared or standing credentials — only target-scoped, time-bound JIT credentials; never retrieves raw secret values; redacts PII in captured evidence. Requires an external signed approval bound to the exact target and plan digest, JIT credentials, a pre-approved rollback, and business-outcome reconciliation before any action, and acts on exactly one bounded job/retry scope per approval — never a blind mass-retry or expanded scope.",
