Summary

  • replaces wildcard administrative authority with content-addressed exact profiles
  • self-heals persisted wildcard state before authenticated control connections are enabled
  • defines the capability registry, boot migration, repair, recovery, and compatibility requirements

Why

The current wildcard authority can inherit capabilities added in the future and can activate bypasses that are not represented in the capability catalog. Astrid needs explicit, inspectable administrative authority without giving up complete sysadmin control.

Status

Draft. This RFC must remain open and unmerged. Generated registry and profile digests, migration fixtures, and implementation artifacts remain acceptance gates.

Tracks astrid-runtime/astrid#1228. Companion design: #37.

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • python3 generate-book.py
