Define DoctorReport compatibility for older JSON. DoctorReport requires controlled_actions during deserialization. A report that omits this field fails to deserialize. If reports cross Spec 014 versions or persist, add a migration, optional field, or schema version. Add a pre-014 fixture test. Do not default missing data to ControlledActionsDoctorStatus::ready_base() unless it represents a valid historical claim.

Enforce scope before an intent state changes.
TransitionEffect retrieves the audit record by action_id without checking req.realm_id or req.authority_scope_id. A caller that knows another scope’s ID can change its effect_state.
Make the mutable audit lookup scope-bound and add a cross-scope test that expects WrongScope.

1. Digest bypasses intent approval 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
The new guard treats any existing payload_digest as sufficient for Pending→Sent, while the transition path first promotes any ordinary audit into an external-action intent. Digest-bearing document/network audits can therefore be marked Sent without ever passing through CreateExternalActionIntent, bypassing the approval-bound intent contract.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Ordinary audit records with unrelated content digests can be promoted and sent as approved external actions.
## Issue Context
A payload digest alone does not prove that the record was created through the controlled-action approval path. TransitionEffect must operate only on records already typed as ExternalActionIntent.

2. Outbox disappears after restart 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
CreateExternalActionIntent stores every supposedly durable intent only in CoreFacade's process-local InMemoryAuthorityStore, so recreating the facade or restarting the host loses pending or unknown external actions. The outbox can then no longer reconcile those actions, violating Spec 014's durable, rebuildable outbox requirement.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
External-action intents are stored only in the facade's in-memory object map and disappear when the `CoreFacade` is recreated or the host restarts, so pending or unknown actions cannot be reconciled and the outbox is not durable.
## Issue Context
Spec 014 requires durable external-action intents and a rebuildable outbox. The repository already defines the encrypted vault/durable-store path as the production persistence boundary; persist the complete intent/effect state through that path and rebuild `ListOutbox` from the persisted source.

3. Rejected transition mutates audit 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
For a digest-less ordinary audit, TransitionEffect promotes the record to an ExternalActionIntent and sets its state to Pending before the new digest check rejects the Pending-to-Sent request. The failed operation therefore permanently corrupts the stored audit’s classification and leaves a malformed intent that cannot receive a digest through this API, rather than being atomic.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The payload-digest validation occurs only after `TransitionEffect` has partially mutated an ordinary audit into a pending external-action intent. A rejected Pending-to-Sent request must not change the stored record’s kind or state.
## Issue Context
Complete all validation before changing stored state, preferably rejecting non-intent records rather than promoting them implicitly. Alternatively, retain the original kind and state and restore both on every error path so the operation remains atomic.

4. External intents lack scope protection 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
New external intents carry realm and authority-scope ownership, but TransitionEffect retrieves audits solely by action_id and never verifies those IDs against the request. A caller from another scope can therefore advance or reconcile a foreign controlled action if its ID is known or predictable, violating the facade's cross-scope write boundary.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
`TransitionEffect` mutates audits by ID without checking the request's realm and authority scope. External-action intents must only be advanced or reconciled from their owning scope.
## Issue Context
Intent creation records realm and authority-scope ownership, and outbox listing enforces both, but the mutable audit lookup is ID-only. Add a scoped audit lookup or compare the retrieved audit header's realm and authority scope against the request before any promotion or state mutation, returning `WrongScope` on mismatch.
