# Phase 0.9 future staging approval template

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

This template could bind one future inactive candidate-staging action. It
cannot authorize a live switch, installation, execution, lifecycle, autoload,
retry or a second component.

A candidate hash or offline build record alone never authorizes staging.
