## Existing Operator Surfaces

## Channel Candidates
- sms: readiness-only · SMS can become an explicit confirmation channel later, but cannot read OTPs or send messages without approval.
- whatsapp: earmarked-provider-candidate · WhatsApp may be evaluated as a provider candidate, but no Meta/WhatsApp API, webhook, or message ingestion is active.
- phone: readiness-only · Phone can become an operator-confirmed channel later. No calls, recording, or transcription are active.
- deviceNativeTrust: identity-support-only · A logged-in device can support identity confirmation but cannot silently grant bank, app, or provider authority.
- oauthNativeBridge: future-explicit-consent-route · OAuth/native app bridges require explicit consent, provider review, receipt, revocation, and scope display.

## Operator Readiness Rules
- Operator can request, confirm, route, and record approval intent.
- Operator cannot silently inherit external account authority from a logged-in phone.
- Operator authority must be explicitly delegated and revocable.
- Operators need state, priority, context, and decision history.
- Every handoff needs actor, state, reason, next action, and audit trail.
- Founder-level or sensitive actions require explicit reason, reversibility, and receipt.
- SMS, WhatsApp, phone, and native-device channels require provider/device permission gates before activation.
- OTP/security-code handling must remain user-mediated unless a dedicated legal/security gate is approved later.
- Bank/app sessions cannot be used as authority without provider-specific consent and explicit user action.
- Agent authority is not granted by operator communications readiness.
