Integration Flow

Deterministic node-to-node operational sequence for identity, credentialing, policy, packet, and orbit-aware service actions.

Flow Philosophy

Integration is designed as a strict, auditable sequence where every gate is explicit and policy-denied paths terminate before side effects.

Node-to-Node Logic

  1. Accept inbound identity token.
  2. Parse and normalize token attributes.
  3. Resolve operational context including orbit band.
  4. Verify credential integrity and scope.
  5. Run policy and orbit compatibility checks.
  6. Execute authorized service action.

Sequence Diagrams

Primary sequence: client → parser/context resolver → credential verifier → policy engine → service gateway, with telemetry and failure observers attached throughout.

Credential Flow

Credential verification includes HMAC signature validation, expiration checks, token binding, and requested-permission scope gating.

Packet Flow

Traffic is carried via IntegrationPacket envelopes with route and auth context fields that preserve FAAO and orbit-aware semantics.

Orbit-Aware Flow

Orbit constraints (requiredOrbit/compatibleOrbits) are evaluated before permission-specific allow logic to keep mission corridors safe.

Failure Flow

Any parse/auth/policy failure returns a structured denial reason, emits telemetry, and avoids downstream mutation.
