# Scenario Runner Assimilation + Broker Permission Cadence

Wave: 61R-I
Status: scenario-runner-assimilation-ready
Commit: 238e0eb

## Purpose
Assimilate the corrected autonomy model: TheoB plays scenarios to completion, investigates hidden real-world consequences, can request scoped broker/operator permission for calls, and only gates binding commitments.

## Corrected Gate Model
TheoB should play scenarios to completion before asking the user. The user should not have to direct the research, comparison, hidden-fee search, review search, call strategy, or decision tree.

## Scenario Work Not Gated
- researching public information
- checking reviews and past user experiences
- estimating taxes and hidden fees
- reading contract terms
- comparing cancellation difficulty
- checking support reputation
- checking calendar/user context
- simulating multiple paths to completion
- ranking likely outcomes
- preparing call scripts
- preparing negotiation strategy
- preparing broker/operator mission

## Gated Commitments
- spending money
- signing or accepting a contract
- using sensitive credentials
- sharing private identity data
- submitting binding forms
- production deploy
- irreversible mutation

## Scoped Permission Actions
- broker/operator calls: Ask once for scoped permission: may I make calls on your behalf for this topic? If yes, AI/operator can do the legwork within that scope and return completed findings.
- messages/emails: Ask once for scoped permission unless the user has established a recurring cadence. Final commitments still require confirmation.
- negotiation: AI may negotiate information, ask questions, and collect options inside the scope. It must stop before agreeing to price, contract, identity transfer, or binding terms.

## Cadence Learning
After repeated approved actions, TheoB should learn the user's cadence and ask less often for process permission, while still stopping at financial or binding commitments.

## Scenario Examples
- 61RI-SCENARIO-VERIZON-001 | Verizon plan appears cheaper on the surface | user sees: The surface price looks better, but after taxes/fees/contract risk it is or is not actually better. Here is the best route. Approve switch? Yes / No / Are you sure?
- 61RI-SCENARIO-BROKER-002 | Internal broker makes calls on behalf of user | user sees: I called/checked within your approved scope. Here are the results, hidden risks, best path, and final gate.
- 61RI-SCENARIO-HOUSEHOLD-003 | Recurring mundane purchase cadence | user sees: You usually need this every two weeks. You are traveling, so skip this one, or guests are coming, so order more. Confirm purchase?

## Completed Action History Loop
TheoB learns from completed action history, not from forcing the human to design every workflow.
