F16-PN: Yes
Rationale
For the final-peer access task, authenticated relationship policy is the native authority. Lifecycle sections 4–5 invalidate exclusively derived objects on revocation and forbid reusing the revoked epoch; sections 13 and 17 reject stale generations and unauthenticated mutation. This credits the specified protected relationship mechanism, not implementation conformance or protection of unrelated host services.
Assessment method
Documentary analysis; no protocol execution
Source context
Primary specification / explicit selected policy
Outstanding qualification
Bind the local final-peer allowlist to the actual selected carrier and E2E receiver; exercise denied identities, all active paths, queued-but-undelivered work, restart, stale epochs and renewed authorization. Working-draft lifecycle interoperability and full cutover execution remain unqualified.
