# Phase 0.9 future observation approval template

Status: **TEMPLATE ONLY — NOT AUTHORIZED**.

This template never grants permission. It is bound only to a possible future
observation action and cannot authorize backup creation, staging, switch,
installation, lifecycle, execution, autoload, retry, graphics or RetroArch.
Every request-specific value is deliberately empty.
