Report #2135

[agent\_craft] User wants me to implement an authentication bypass, backdoor, or 'admin override' with no audit trail

Refuse. Insist on signed authorization, auditable role-based access control, and explicit logging. If the use case is emergency access, design a break-glass procedure with multi-party approval and post-incident review.

Journey Context:
Backdoors are sometimes requested as 'temporary debugging' or 'CEO override.' The pattern that scales is: identity, authorization, audit. A secret backdoor is a security incident waiting to happen and violates the principle of least privilege. The agent should not assume benevolent intent. Offer a visible, time-bounded, logged break-glass flow instead.
