On accessPolicy — sub-agents in Envelope are the tools: each defines its own access scope, the supervisor just knows what's available. Where the concern is valid is function-level tool calls — no first-class tool definition layer yet, so HTTP access scope ends up at the agent level rather than the tool.

On gates — the per-record model handles dynamic output you can't pre-declare at schema time, and timeout/onReject are runtime routing decisions. The action type specifically is doing real work — irreversible step, explicit approval required before it fires.

On trigger logic: agreed. XOR isn't expressible with the current set and recursive conditions is almost certainly the v2 shape.
