+# ADR-0021 — Delegated Non-Interactive Control-Plane Authority
+
+Status: Accepted
+Date: 2026-08-31
+Accepted under: owner decision for GEN2-AUTHORITY-001
+
+## Context
+
+The existing Creator session endpoints correctly require a human principal for
+governed Cognitive CANARY and ACTIVE transitions. A bounded background task
+cannot use those endpoints without either a browser session, impersonation, or
+a direct Capability write. All three alternatives are invalid.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. Identity remains the sole owner of Actors, Principals and their bindings. A
+   service principal is a separately identified Actor/Principal binding; it is
+   neither a Human Principal nor an impersonation of one.
+2. Authority remains the sole owner of delegated task grants, validation,
+   revocation and safe action audit. This extends `AuthorityGrant`; it does not
+   introduce a robot-authority owner or a second authorization registry.
+3. A delegated grant is typed and narrow: service principal, task id and
+   revision, operation capability, exact Cognitive binding resource/revision,
+   issuer, issue/expiry times, grant revision and lifecycle status. It is
+   default-deny and cannot authorize grant creation, extension, policy change,
+   or administration.
+4. A control-plane request is authorized in the existing `commit-runtime`, the
+   runtime topology location of Authority. It must pass two independent checks: service credential
+   authentication and a current delegated-grant authorization for its exact
+   task/operation/resource. Credential possession never expands authority.
+5. Long-lived credential material remains only in the existing protected secret
+   backend and is addressed by a `CredentialRef` plus bootstrap file reference.
+   The runtime never logs, persists, or returns its token. Rotation changes the
+   protected artifact; revocation of a grant blocks new actions immediately.
+6. Capability remains the only owner of Cognitive binding/evaluation lifecycle.
+   The delegated path invokes the existing owner validation and promotion
+   builders; it cannot synthesize an evaluation or mark a binding active.
+7. Control-plane actions receive durable Authority audit records containing
+   identity, task, operation, resource, decision and safe result reference.
+   Secret values, request payloads, user memory and hidden reasoning are never
+   stored in that audit.
+8. External mutations continue to use Commit/Executor/Receipt/Outcome where
+   the existing action is an external effect. Capability's owner-local binding
+   lifecycle remains an owner-local governed state transition, not a shortcut
+   around an external executor.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Background work can execute only an explicitly delegated, time-bounded task.
+- Restart reconstructs authorization from Identity/Authority durable state; no
+  process-local permission cache is authoritative.
+- Each later task must receive a new delegated grant. A grant for
+  GEN2-COGNITIVE-003 cannot be reused for SELF development or code promotion.
+- The first implementation deliberately covers only the Cognitive lifecycle
+  operations required by GEN2-COGNITIVE-003. Broader control-plane actions
+  need their own task-scoped authority and acceptance evidence.
+
+## Rollback
+
+Disable or revoke the delegated grant and route no new non-interactive requests
+to the endpoint. Existing Authority audit and Capability history remain
+append-only evidence; no binding state is rolled back by deleting history.
