SPEC-v0.9 §2. A grant carries budgets: a metric, a limit and a window. No ledger, no counter, no reservation touched: item 4 builds the store side and item 5 spends it. No guarantee id either; §8 says why. The window axis is the whole risk, and it reads backwards. Over the same limit a SHORTER window is a HIGHER rate and therefore more authority: a parent of 100,000 per rolling day is widened by a child of 100,000 per rolling hour, which is 2,400,000 a day. A draft of §2.6 compared <= on the window and would have accepted that child at 24x while rejecting the child of 100,000 per week, which is one seventh the rate. T401 and T402 are written in both directions with the arithmetic on the page. Containment is existential, not positional. §2.2 makes budgets a list because two budgets on one metric over two windows is the first thing an operator asks for, and that makes "the child's budget" ambiguous. The rule is: for every parent budget there must exist a child budget on the same metric with limit <= and window >=. One child budget may discharge several parent budgets, which T402a's second row exercises: a 30-day cap of 50,000 implies a 24-hour cap of 50,000. A metric value is a non-negative int that is not a bool. PlainValue admits bool and isinstance(True, int) is True, so amount: false would be a "non-negative integer" worth zero, which is §2.3's own absence-as-zero sentence wearing a costume. authority.py and verify/scenarios.py already guard the trap; the budget loader uses the same predicate rather than a third spelling. Negative values are refused because they would reduce the rolling sum and void §2.6's monotonicity proof, not merely because they are odd. Two couplings item 1 paid for once and this item paid for again, both predicted by §8.0. grant_to_json carries budgets or a delegation reads back unbudgeted and §5.6 refuses it authority_escalation forever; and DIMENSIONS grows to eight, so G9's _narrowed and _widen carry the field and the shipped example budgets or G9 raises VerifyInternalError. The window renders as integer seconds in the canonical form, exactly as _canonical_envelope renders max_ttl: a timedelta is not a PlainValue and cannot go through canonical_bytes.

The independent review validated the containment relation exhaustively and could not break it: 12,871 transitivity triples with zero non-transitive, and 2,515 contained pairs against 300 simulated spend timelines each with zero soundness violations. child.window >= parent .window is right. Four blocking findings, all outside that relation. An oversized stored window raised OverflowError out of Authority .evaluate, and _candidates reads EVERY delegation row on every evaluation, so one corrupt row denied nothing and crashed everything for every principal and every action, with no event and no receipt to find it by. OverflowError was in neither except tuple. Probed before and after: an unrelated principal's unrelated action went from an uncaught OverflowError to authority_unreadable. T407d drives that end to end. And timedelta(seconds=True) is a ONE-SECOND window. _is_int exists in this item precisely because isinstance(True, int), and it guarded limit while window went through a cast. The failure grants authority, since a shorter window is a higher rate, and the loader refuses the same input, so it was a direct violation of §2.2's "the model refuses exactly what the loader refuses". Same predicate now, plus a bound, plus the closed key set the reader's docstring already claimed. Two spec contradictions the item worked around instead of reporting. §2.8 said budgets render sorted "like constraints"; the code renders document order, which is the safer choice, so §2.8 is amended with the reason rather than the code changed to lose evidence. §10 said the canonical window is the document's ISO-8601 spelling, which is not implementable: canonical_grants renders parsed grants and a Budget keeps no source text. Both amendments are in the spec now, not only in a comment misattributing the justification to §2.2. §9.3's T401a and §11's fail-closed row still stated the load-error rule §2.4.1 overturned three drafts ago. A fail-closed table naming a check the code does not make is the documented-as-prevention problem in its literal form. Both now point at the execute-time rule and name item 5 as its owner. Two testing gaps worth more than the findings that surfaced them. test_T329_every_dimension_contained_dimension_knows_has_a_case filtered through the same hardcoded six names it then subtracted, so `missing` was empty by construction and the guard written to stop a dimension escaping could not fire. Both tasks and budgets walked past it. It derives from DIMENSIONS now, and a mutation confirms it fires. And G9's budget widening moved the limit, which is the axis that reads forwards. contained_dimension returns on the first axis violated, so the limit refusal masked the window one and G9 stayed green under an inverted window comparison, which is the one defect the dimension exists to catch. Window only now. Also: a Budget with a sub-second window was legal and could not round trip, storing as 0 and reading back dead for ever. §2.3 settles `count`, which is the one metric the kernel does branch on, against §12's do-not-build line, and says an argument named count does not win. And the shipped example no longer claims verify grades G22 today. Signed-off-by: arpan <contact@arpanghoshal.com>

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Convert excessive duration failures to PolicyError.
_parse_duration can raise OverflowError while constructing a timedelta. It can also raise ValueError while converting an excessively long numeric component. For example, a budget window such as P1000000000D bypasses the Budget upper-bound check because construction fails first.
Catch these errors here or normalize them inside _parse_duration. Otherwise, malformed budget documents leak a non-CTRLRunError exception from Policy.from_yaml.
Proposed fix

+ window = _parse_duration(entry["window"], f"{spot}: window")

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert Policy.policy_hash for both budget changes.
T405 and T405a compare only canonical_grants(...). They do not exercise Policy.from_yaml(...).policy_hash. Existing authority-hash tests cover grant presence, actions, and constraints, but not budget fields. A regression that drops budgets while retaining other authority data could therefore leave the policy hash unchanged while these tests pass.
Proposed fix
- one = canonical_grants(Authority.from_yaml(DOCUMENT, source="<a>"))
- widened = canonical_grants(
- Authority.from_yaml(DOCUMENT.replace("limit: 100000", "limit: 10000000"), source="<b>")
- )
+ one = Policy.from_yaml(DOCUMENT, source="<a>").policy_hash
+ widened = Policy.from_yaml(
+ DOCUMENT.replace("limit: 100000", "limit: 10000000"), source="<b>"
+ ).policy_hashApply the same change to T405a at lines 156-160.

Item 3 of v0.9.
SPEC-v0.9.md§2. No guarantee id (§8 says why), and nothing counts anythingin this item: no ledger, no counter, no reservation touched. Item 4 builds the store side, item 5
spends it.
This item requires an independent review (
CONTRIBUTING.md's narrowed rule): it decides thecontainment relation on a quantity, and a comparison the wrong way round reads as correct.
The window axis is the whole risk
Over the same limit a shorter window is a higher rate, and therefore more authority:
amount 100000 / PT24Hamount 100000 / PT1Hamount 100000 / PT24Hamount 100000 / P7DA draft of §2.6 compared
<=on the window and would have accepted the 24x child while rejectingthe narrower one. T401 and T402 are written in both directions with the arithmetic beside the
assertion, and
_budgets_contained's docstring carries the proof.Containment is existential, not positional
§2.2 makes
budgetsa list because two budgets on one metric over two windows is the first thing anoperator asks for, and that makes "the child's budget" ambiguous. The rule: for every parent
budget there must exist a child budget on the same metric with
limit <=andwindow >=.T402a walks §2.6.1's four rows, including the non-obvious one: a single child of
50000 / P30Ddischarges both
100000 / PT24Hand500000 / P30D, because a 30-day cap of 50,000 implies a24-hour cap of 50,000.
A
boolis anintin PythonPlainValueadmitsboolandisinstance(True, int)isTrue, soamount: falsewould be a"non-negative integer" worth zero — §2.3's own absence-as-zero sentence wearing a costume. This
repository already guards the trap in
authority.pyandverify/scenarios.py; the budget loaderuses the same predicate rather than a third spelling.
Negative values are refused because they would void §2.6's proof, not merely because they are
odd: a sum is monotonic over nested intervals only for non-negative terms, and without that the
child's predicate stops implying the parent's.
Two couplings item 1 paid for once and this item paid for again
Both were predicted by §8.0, and both are the kind of fact that only shows by running it:
grant_to_jsonmust carry budgets, or a delegation reads back unbudgeted andv0.3 §5.6'sre-check refuses it
authority_escalationonbudgetsforever. The round trip is thecontainment.
DIMENSIONSgrows to eight, so G9's_narrowedand_widencarry the field and the shippedexample budgets — or
_narrowed's own guard raisesVerifyInternalErrorbefore a widening runs.Mutation table
Eight rows, required for this item. Every row goes red.
budgetsrow never firesboolpasses as an integer limitChecked against
CONTRIBUTING.md's four patterns. M1 and M2 are not subsumed — they invertopposite axes and fail different tests. M5 is the row that proves the
boolguard is load-bearingrather than decorative, since M4 would catch a float without it.

The four things worth pushing hardest on, in order:
