[WS-POLICY] Policy Runtime (placeholder) — allowed?/approval required?/confidence threshold?/autonomy level?/escalation?/compliance? deterministic gate

[Aparnap2]

Priority: P2 | MVP Scope: Policy Runtime interface definition + basic approval rules

Context

The Policy Runtime is a deterministic gate that evaluates whether an action is allowed, requires approval, or should be blocked. MVP covers basic approval rules only.

Scope

• Define Policy Runtime interface: allowed? / approval required? / confidence threshold? / autonomy level? / escalation? / compliance?
• Implement basic approval rules (deterministic gate)
• Placeholder for advanced policy features (confidence thresholds, autonomy levels, escalation)

Acceptance

• Policy Runtime interface is defined and documented
• Basic approval rules work as a deterministic gate
• Interface is extensible for advanced policy features in future iterations

Verification

• uv run pytest tests/v6/ — policy runtime tests pass
• Deterministic gate produces consistent results for known inputs
• Interface is documented and extensible
