assertion_evidence:

      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#security:
      an acceptance cannot exceed the inviter’s authority as it stands now
  - provenance: test
    source: >-
      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#lets
      the acceptance through while the administrator still may grant what they offered
  - provenance: test
    source: >-
      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#refuses
      the acceptance once the administrator has lost the right, in the one sentence every bad link
      gets
  - provenance: test
    source: >-
      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#activates
      nothing and spends no token, so the link still works if the authority comes back
  - provenance: test
    source: >-
      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#records
      the exemption on the invitation it was issued under, and nothing on an ordinary one
  - provenance: test
    source: >-
      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#lets
      the exempt invitation through the same revocation that refused the ordinary one
  - provenance: test
    source: >-
      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#says
      in the trail that the exemption, not the inviter’s authority, is why it was let through
  - provenance: test
    source: >-
      services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js#records
      the real reason in the trail, which the person pressing the button is not told
dependency_evidence: >-
  The prepared PostgreSQL database supplies the persisted fixtures and constraints exercised here.
  The suite controls Cognito, message delivery, the clock at the declared seams; those collaborators
  remain outside its live proof.
evidence:
  - >-
    services-platform:modules/security/tests/integration/services/invitations/inviter-authority.integration.spec.js
  - >-
    Static review at the recorded source revision; executable results remain not-run and conformance
    remains not-verified.
binding_note: >-
  Each binding names the scenario to which this file contributes assertions. A binding is not a
  recorded pass and does not extend the file’s dependency boundary.

# Inviter authority database and service checks

## Verification Boundary

The file exercises database or service behavior through the local integration harness. The assertion references identify the source checks for inviter authority.

## What This Suite Proves

The source assertions support the observations named in the bound scenarios. A scenario spanning multiple files must retain the other files’ contributions.

## What It Does Not Prove

This examination does not run the suite. Passing behavior, deployed conformance and the behavior of substituted dependencies require separate execution evidence.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

The prepared PostgreSQL database supplies the persisted fixtures and constraints exercised here. The suite controls Cognito, message delivery, the clock at the declared seams; those collaborators remain outside its live proof.

## Must Not Be Doubled

Keep the queried database, applicable constraints and transaction boundaries real. Provider substitutes cannot establish delivery, cloud execution or cross-service recovery.
