Revocation
The withdrawal of a granted capability when the task it was granted for ends. A just-in-time grant that is never revoked silently becomes a standing permission, so revocation must be automatic (on completion or a short timeout) rather than depending on someone remembering.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in AI Governance: Applied Mastery.
