Full written post / accessibility read
Picture four animated lanes aimed at one production toggle. The direct agent tool crosses a bright pre-call checkpoint and is denied. A delegated task, a shell script and a service API call approach the same tenant from the side. Which lane does your hook actually see?
The production service does not care which screen the agent used. It sees a credential and a request. If any other lane has authority, a green hook log cannot guarantee the customer state stayed put. This is an illustrative design, not a reported breach.
On the route map, write the principal beside each arrow. Add the hook decision where one exists, the service authorization result and the append-only target receipt. A deny plus no new production receipt is stronger than a deny message by itself; a permitted staging receipt proves the sensor works.
Put the production tenant rule at the service boundary and keep the visual route map in your harness. Test each lane against a disposable target when tools or credentials change. Do that because controls are only as complete as the authority paths they cover.

Four-beat scene transcript
1. One bright checkpoint. Four roads.
Picture four animated lanes aimed at one production toggle. The direct agent tool crosses a bright pre-call checkpoint and is denied. A delegated task, a shell script and a service API call approach the same tenant from the side. Which lane does your hook actually see?
Visual: A single blocked tool can create false confidence.
2. The target is the shared destination.
The production service does not care which screen the agent used. It sees a credential and a request. If any other lane has authority, a green hook log cannot guarantee the customer state stayed put. This is an illustrative design, not a reported breach.
Visual: A second route can change what the first route protected.
3. Draw credential to effect.
On the route map, write the principal beside each arrow. Add the hook decision where one exists, the service authorization result and the append-only target receipt. A deny plus no new production receipt is stronger than a deny message by itself; a permitted staging receipt proves the sensor works.
Visual: Give every lane its principal, gate and receipt.
4. Protect the destination.
Put the production tenant rule at the service boundary and keep the visual route map in your harness. Test each lane against a disposable target when tools or credentials change. Do that because controls are only as complete as the authority paths they cover.
Visual: Check permission where all effect paths converge.
