OAuth 2.1 Reference Artifact Trace

This directory serializes the OAUTH-042 worked example from Institutional Capability Lineage Architecture. Each file represents one governed object in the execution trace and links to the identifiers produced by the preceding step.

These artifacts target icla-spec: 0.1.0 and validate against the draft schemas in schemas/. Both the instances and the schemas remain non-normative at this stage.

Pre-resolution IAM impact path

Before INT-OAUTH-042, identity-policy change CHG-IDENTITY-POLICY-008 revises the source’s authorized interpretation and temporal applicability. The Registry snapshot preserves the complete, inspectable path without introducing another principal artifact type:

CHG-IDENTITY-POLICY-008
        -> BIND-IDENTITY-POLICY
        -> IMP-IAM-008
        -> CAP-IAM + its Registry relation neighborhood
        -> DEC-IAM-008
        -> DELTA-IAM-007-008
        -> CKC-IAM v8 / APPEND-IAM-008 (inactive)
        -> ACT-IAM-008

ASM-IAM-HIST-007 remains linked to CKC-IAM v7

The impact record identifies the affected binding, exact CKC versions, six relation-connected capabilities, and every traversed Registry edge. Only CAP-IAM changes canonical state; the other capabilities are identified for impact review and remain unchanged. Activation applies to future resolutions, which is why REG-SNAP-042 and ASM-OAUTH-042 subsequently select CKC-IAM v8 while the retained historical assembly still points to v7.

Trace

1. Registry Snapshot — REG-SNAP-042 records capability identities, relations, owners, active CKC pointers, and the pre-resolution CAP-IAM impact and activation history described above.
2. Intent — INT-OAUTH-042 declares the OAuth 2.1 goal, situated boundary CEE-OAUTH-042, configuration CEE-CONFIG-OAUTH-042, consumer, risk, budget, constraints, and required assurance.
3. Resolution — RES-OAUTH-042 navigates the Registry, expands mandatory relations, excludes inapplicable capabilities, resolves the compatibility conflict, retains matcher identity/version and explicitly non-calibrated qualitative confidence semantics, and produces the admitted outcome ADM-OAUTH-042 with a nonempty exact active-CKC map.
4. Assembly — ASM-OAUTH-042 snapshots six exact CKC versions, selects and excludes knowledge, binds governed metrics, and records the deterministic RequiredCovered method and validator version plus the compatibility-conflict outcome and versioned policy basis before establishing the bounded operational mandate. The assembly retains only its own projection transformation and contains no later realization state.
5. Agent Materialization — MAT-AGENT-042 records the CEE-controlled workspace realization and its distinct local transformation.
6. Review Materialization — MAT-REVIEW-042 records the separate policy-dependent review representation. Both MATs pin assembly and CEE, substrate/transformation versions, hash/access metadata, evaluation/evidence bindings, and preservation of semantics and authority. Executable lineage connects ASM-OAUTH-042 to both first-class records.
7. Evidence Bundle — EVD-OAUTH-042 returns terminal, contract-selected knowledge produced by CEE-OAUTH-042 during the autonomous EXE-OAUTH-042 interval as artifacts, provenance, five conforming governed measurements, and one explicitly non-standard measurement. Local reasoning and working state are not submitted. The serialized object shows the post-Gateway state; the executable test removes the receipt from the submission and verifies that the Gateway recreates RCPT-OAUTH-042. It also retains the identifier and version of the transformation used to construct the submitted report, without treating such a transformation as mandatory for every evidence bundle. It records the execution as episodic memory, preserves candidate producer and execution identity, and declares submitted candidate lifecycle and memory-role transitions.
8. Governance Decision — DEC-OAUTH-042 accepts the conforming evidence, retains a local exception, authorizes the complete successor CKC-VERIFY v10, records its inactive append as APPEND-VERIFY-010, and activates that exact appended version through ACT-VERIFY-010 only for future resolutions. The decision links its impact assessment to an identified change event, records CKC-VERIFY v9 as the exact rollback target. It links complete successor CKC-VERIFY v10 to DELTA-VERIFY-009-010, which records the changed CKC commitments, rationale, supporting evidence, authorizing decision, and rollback without acting as a reconstruction patch. It references, but does not embed or promote, PROP-AUTH-EVOL-01.
9. Capability Proposal — the independent pre-institutional candidate records current assembly and evidence signals, the finding that recurrence is not established, future execution types needed before submission, stable assembly rules, value basis, comparable outcomes, candidate ownership, overlap input, and proposal-scoped CKC draft.
10. Successor CKC — the complete immutable CKC-VERIFY v10 contract records its predecessor, scope, obligations, authorities, evidence and evaluation definitions, source bindings, projection rules, governing decision, and decision-linked successor delta.

The trace treats semantic, procedural, and episodic as overlapping functional roles. DEC-OAUTH-042 retains the service-local exception as an episodic precedent and admits the reusable compatibility-test pattern as a procedural commitment in CKC-VERIFY v10.

Result

• The identity-policy change is traceable through IMP-IAM-008 and DEC-IAM-008 to ACT-IAM-008.
• ASM-IAM-HIST-007 remains linked to CKC-IAM v7; the OAuth resolution uses the subsequently activated CKC-IAM v8.
• ASM-OAUTH-042 remains immutably linked to CKC-VERIFY v9.
• APPEND-VERIFY-010 adds CKC-VERIFY v10 to the lineage without changing the active pointer.
• The executable negative path rejects a stale predecessor after v10 has been appended and preserves the single [v9, v10] canonical lineage.
• Future resolutions use CKC-VERIFY v10 after activation.
• CKC-VERIFY v9 remains eligible for later reactivation only through a new approved pointer decision; the original successor activation is not reused.
• No new institutional capability is created by this decision.
• The current OAuth trace does not by itself establish recurrence, so PROP-AUTH-EVOL-01 remains a pre-institutional candidate; its proposed relations refer directionally to existing capabilities without assigning the future identity. Later recurrent executions may provide the evidence required under this history-driven review path. This is not a universal formation precondition: other proposals may be supported by unresolved intents, strategic decisions, process-analysis or onboarding records and a justified prospective continuity expectation. The OAuth trace does not assign CAP-AUTH-EVOL, create CKC-AUTH-EVOL v1, or validate promotion-origin links.

The trace executes successor evolution within an existing capability and represents the separately governed crystallization boundary without promoting its candidate. The independent auth-evolution-formation trace exercises the later submitted-proposal formation path without changing the scientific meaning of this single-execution example.
