Deferred: a per-operator AuthenticateUser cache (each operator-authenticated ack currently authenticates again). Security tradeoff — it caches the outcome of a credential check.

Source: archreview/2026-10-21/remediation/00-tracking.md row R21-K11

Next step (from the tracker): Decide with the security owner before building.

Current-state evidence: the row is still Open/Deferred in the latest (2026-10-21) tracker, and a code check on local main @ 8c0a51d (2026-11-06) found it still present unless noted below.
