A product-scoped identity or partition boundary used by docs examples, route checks, limits, records, or access policy.
Use now: Use when a product reference names the tenant field, header, route permission, quota, or local policy that applies to a request.
Boundary: Does not imply product-wide isolation, customer identity integration, privacy posture, regulatory posture, or shared tenancy semantics across products.
A named grouping or filter boundary whose exact behavior is owned by the product page that defines the field.
Use now: Use for LogDB query authorization and filters, Concordia local TSDB or placement examples, and cautious ObjectDB native-model discussion.
Boundary: Does not imply a global Stornamics namespace, cross-product policy boundary, or customer data governance claim.
The Message Broker route behavior that returns only tenant-visible stream descriptions or not-found errors for streams outside the caller's route context.
Use now: Use with broker stream list, stream describe, storage catalog, stream inspect, and permission language from the HTTP reference.
Boundary: Does not imply cross-tenant discovery, external identity-provider validation, or every stream-sharing pattern a deployment might need.
A configured product posture for checking credentials or admitting local requests, such as insecure-local, api-key, mTLS, external, or local bearer-token modes.
Use now: Use only with the exact product mode, route family, credential source, transport, and local or controlled-beta status named by the reference.
Boundary: Does not imply direct identity-provider validation, customer credential parity, hosted control-plane integration, or a uniform auth model across products.
A credential value passed in an Authorization header or metadata field where a product reference names that behavior.
Use now: Use for Message Broker API-key examples, LogDB local tenant admission, and Concordia local Cache, TSDB, or Gateway admission checks.
Boundary: Local tokens are example or development admission boundaries unless a product page names stronger credential validation and reviewer acceptance.
An external Message Broker identity mode where a configured upstream component supplies identity through headers the broker trusts.
Use now: Use when documenting broker external auth mode and route checks that depend on configured upstream identity headers.
Boundary: Does not imply direct identity-provider validation, header trust outside the configured boundary, or automatic support in ObjectDB, Concordia, or LogDB.
A named area where the docs intentionally hold stronger identity, security, privacy, support, or policy wording for later evidence and review.
Use now: Use near auth, tenant, dataset, encryption, trusted-header, local-token, support, or customer-commitment language that is not yet accepted.
Boundary: A current gap is not a defect claim or roadmap promise; it is a review boundary for the exact wording in front of the reader.
