Governance

Who will act at 32-ID, and the trust shape that will gate it. Design-phase.

Governance at 32-ID follows the same model as the 2-BM pilot: people and autonomous agents are facility principals at the APS Site, and on the beamline they surface through the actions they take. Their commands are gated by a trust shape (a Zone grouping the beamline's resources, a Conduit binding the surfaces that may issue commands, and Policies that say who may do what).

32-ID is a design-phase scaffold in CORA, so this shape is not yet instantiated. The 32-ID operator pool and beamline-scientist assignments are not modelled ahead of confirmation; CORA does not invent a 32-ID operator roster.

What is already settled is the boundary: clearances (the safety forms that must be active to start) are issued at the APS Site, not on the beamline, and the beamline links up to them rather than restating them. 32-ID adds hazard classes beyond the 2-BM tomography envelope, a class-4 laser on the additive-manufacturing rig, pressurized helium and cryogens, that an experiment Clearance would carry; those land with the instruments that bring them, which are deferred (see Model).

The concrete Zone, Conduit, and Policy instances, and the operator pool, land when the deployment approaches the point where CORA drives 32-ID, following the 2-BM governance shape.
