Abstract: An operating-system overlay-control system obtains, for a synthetic overlay, a validation result produced by validating a Reality Receipt (R2) under a freshness policy relative to a current signed head of an append-only log, including verification of an origin signature, an inclusion proof, and append-only evolution on head advance. From the validation result, the system determines an egress-permit vector that enumerates downstream egress action identifiers and follow-on privilege identifiers and specifies permitted or denied states. Operating-system authorization gatepoints and privilege-control interfaces enforce fail-closed control so that requested downstream egress actions and follow-on privileges are allowed only when permitted by the egress-permit vector and otherwise are blocked, withheld, or refused with a Structured Precondition-Failure code.
