Attested Identity at Admission: Tightening Runtime CRM and Host Certification Flows
Today's work closes critical gaps in runtime identity, admission, and cross-host certification, enabling the platform to treat CRM and ERP events as verifiable, immutable facts. The result is a stack where every certified action and materialization is bound to explicit, attested evidence, not implicit trust or stale defaults.
Imagine a CRM event that claims to originate from a certified host, but whose identity is inferred from context, not from attested evidence. Or a live-call verification that relies on a default target, quietly drifting out of sync with real permissions. For operators and developers, these silent mismatches are not just theoretical: they mean undetectable privilege escalations, misrouted events, and a support trail that cannot be reconstructed. Today, the stack decisively shifts from inferred to attested identity, and from implicit to explicit admission contracts.
Why This Day Mattered
By requiring explicit, attested identities for CRM and ERPNext runtime events and tightening cross-host certification with sanitized evidence, the platform now guarantees that every certified event, call, and materialization is bound to a source that can be independently verified. This eliminates entire classes of silent drift, privilege confusion, and restore-time ambiguity for operators, while giving developers a clear contract for what evidence is required at every boundary. For users, this means that cross-host actions, CRM SSO, and recovery flows are now auditable and predictable, not subject to hidden defaults or accidental overreach.

What Actually Changed
The admission and verification flows for CRM and ERPNext events now require explicit, attested runtime identity-no more defaults or inferred sources. Host certification and restore commands only accept sanitized, contract-bound bundles. Live-call verifiers and materialization jobs must consume the admitted identity, not fallback targets. Cross-host export and certification evidence is validated for scope and sanitization before admission. These changes compose into a system where every critical action is tied to an immutable, verifiable fact, enforced by contract and runtime checks at each boundary.
Why It Holds Better Now
By removing all implicit identity inference and requiring explicit attestation at admission, the stack prevents privilege escalation and source confusion both at runtime and during recovery. Sanitization of certification bundles and concurrency-safe cache refreshes close off races and stale state. The explicit contracts mean that developers cannot accidentally bypass verification, and operators can trace every action to its evidence. This architecture holds up even in the face of cross-host restores, SSO handoffs, and multi-tenant CRM flows, because every step is bound to a concrete, auditable fact rather than a mutable context.
