Hypothesis
Policies fail in production mostly because they were never exercised against realistic manifests.
Objective
Make writing a policy test as cheap as writing the policy itself.
Architecture
A disposable local cluster plus a corpus of real-world manifests, with each policy shipping its own allow and deny fixtures.
Implementation
Placeholder — implementation notes pending.
Findings
Placeholder — findings pending.
Next steps
Measure how many production policy incidents the fixture corpus would have caught.
