Human-control requirements

Human control: requirements and tested scope

  • Human authority is final.
  • Meaningful action must require permission.
  • Unclear authority must prevent action.
  • In the username receipt beta, Stop/Revoke blocks execution when checked before the transaction commits.
  • Admitted requests in that beta produce signed attempt and outcome receipts. This is not coverage of every app action.

Acceptance requirement — implementation evidence neededUnknown or ambiguous authority → no direct or indirect action; permission withdrawal → immediate safe halt and closure of every derived route; every attempted, blocked or completed action → a durable, independently verifiable receipt the agent cannot alter or erase.

Live receipt evidence covers the separately deployed username reservation beta only. It does not demonstrate complete Stop/Revoke propagation to external tools or delegated agents, or protection against privileged host administrators. The browser test on the results page is a local demonstration. Life-stage categories are catalogue filters, not parent PIN locks or age verification. Young Explorer is a preview, not approved for unsupervised child use.

You remain the authority. Your companion grows alongside you, not instead of you.
