## Title

    Operator approval is scoped per window and action

## Body

    Observed symptom: Approval for one bounded action or window cannot be inferred to cover a later spend, migration, or public release. The reusable problem is: Operator approval is scoped per window and action. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.
