Governance

Who will act at P03, and the trust shape that will gate it. First cut.

Governance at P03 follows the same model as the rest of the fleet: people and autonomous agents are facility principals at the PETRA III 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).

P03 is CORA's fifth PETRA III beamline: the DESY operator pool and the safety-review structure are carried pending on the PETRA III Site, shared across the facility's beamlines (with P01, P04, P06, P11), until DESY staff confirm them (GOV-1). P03 is a reverse-engineered scaffold rather than a pilot, so the concrete Zone, Conduit, and Policy instances are deliberately not materialized; they land when the deployment approaches the point where CORA drives P03, following the 2-BM governance shape.

The safety tier is the other piece that is not yet settled. The OnlineXML carries beamline devices, not the personnel-safety interlock leaves, so the Enclosure permit signals (across the shared optics and the two endstations) and the interlock structure are carried pending and are not invented here (PSS-1). The nanofocus GINIX experiment shutter is read from the registry but its safety role is not (PSS-1). What is already settled is the boundary: clearances (the safety forms that must be active to start) are issued at the PETRA III Site, not on the beamline, and the beamline links up to them.

A P03-specific governance note: P03 shares its high-heatload optics with P02, so the optics enclosure's safety and access state is coupled to the neighbouring beamline; how the shared-optics permit is modelled is part of the HOST-1 / PSS-1 questions.

The concrete Zone, Conduit, and Policy instances, and the operator pool, land when the deployment approaches the point where CORA drives P03, following the 2-BM governance shape.
