Proofable checks current authority state locally at dispatch, so this path has no remote

## Evidence

The run records are versioned in the public `proofable/docs` repository and reachable without an
account:
The current packet is run `aaif-e1217327a-20261008` on live production, protocol revision
`e1217327a`. It holds all eight suite cases, with 15 signed envelopes that anyone can verify offline
and checksums over the published bytes. No account is needed to read or check it.

- [Reviewer packet (README, manifest, trace, checksums)](https://github.com/proofable/docs/tree/main/public/evidence/aaif/authority-at-dispatch/2026-10-05)
- [Manifest (raw)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/proofable/docs/main/public/evidence/aaif/authority-at-dispatch/2026-10-05/manifest.json)
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Binding veto | **Supported.** The protected action is refused before an executor is assigned. |
| Revoked or stale authority | **Supported.** Revoked grants are denied; the never-revoked control is accepted. |
| Human approver unavailable | **Supported.** The job is held with no executor, the hold ends without execution, and a late approval is refused. |
| Remote authority unreachable | **Not applicable to the current path.** See Known gaps. |
| Revocation after dispatch | **Supported.** The earlier effect and the refused next dispatch are recorded separately. |

To check the packet yourself, run these in the packet folder:

```sh
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
npm install @proofable/sdk@0.1.6
node verify-portable-proofs.mjs
```

Each record carries the pinned protocol revision, the exact command, and the trace field. Custody is
`SELF`; receipts are private and referenced only by their private-visibility qHash. This packet is
bounded implementation evidence, not a matched or certified result.
Custody is `SELF`: Proofable ran it under a non-admin review profile. The disclosed envelopes are
signed by the Proofable service wallet, and the controller is the subject of each statement.
Revocation latency was not measured. This packet is bounded implementation evidence, not a matched
or certified result.

## Run it yourself

The live authority suite runs through the hosted MCP surface:
The [reproduce kit](https://github.com/proofable/docs/tree/main/public/evidence/aaif/authority-at-dispatch/reproduce)
runs the same eight cases against the live hosted service under your own Pro account, agent wallet
and grants, then checks every record offline. You keep custody of everything it writes, and
Proofable never sees your agent key. From the kit folder:

```sh
node --env-file=.env runners/aaif/harness-state.mjs prod
node --env-file=.env runners/aaif/authority-suite.mjs <case|list>
npm install
export PROOFABLE_ACCESS_KEY=npk_...
export AAD_OPERATOR="Your Organization"
node aad.mjs setup
node aad.mjs run
node aad.mjs verify runs/<run-id>
```
