Summary
Support asynchronous policy evaluation and external governance dependencies.
Goal
Allow governance runtime and policy evaluation to integrate with external identity, ticketing, quota, and compliance systems without forcing everything through synchronous contracts.
Problem
As governance moves closer to real approval and compliance workflows, synchronous-only policy evaluation becomes too limiting. Real deployments will depend on external systems for approver identity, approval evidence, ticket status, quota checks, and compliance verification.
Scope
Design Expectations
- Sync and async policy paths should coexist without ambiguous behavior.
- External failures, timeouts, and cancellations should be part of the explicit runtime contract.
- Governance runtime should remain testable without requiring live external systems.
- Approval and external check semantics should compose cleanly rather than producing hidden branching logic.
Acceptance Criteria
Non-Goals
- This issue does not implement one specific external provider by default
- This issue does not replace the core sync execution path
- This issue does not add UI-driven approval tooling
Notes
This becomes increasingly important once governance execution is wired to real identity and approval systems.
