Active Perimeter Protection.

Identity
Hardening.

The Guard interfaces with the **Alpha Auth Server** to enforce OIDC/OAuth2 at the edge. It terminates invalid sessions in **< 1ms**, ensuring zero-trust isolation from the backend.

OIDC / OAuth2 Zero-Trust Reflex

RU
Shielding.

Active monetization protection. The Guard meters Resource Units (RUs) in real-time, blocking unbilled traffic and enforcing consumer quotas at the perimeter.

Real-time Metering Leakage Defense

Design
Authority.

Prevents "Beta Drift" during synthesis. The Worker verifies that the provider-specific code matches the **Alpha Template** exactly. Any manual console interference is purged on the next deployment.

Synthesis Validation Immutable State

Verification
Defense.

Institutional proof of work. Before a deployment is finalized, the **Verifications API** probes the Edge Guard with synthetic traffic to ensure the synthesized logic is operational.
