confirming-pentest-authorization
Check ROE metadata types, time windows, an optional signer allowlist, and literal target inclusions and exclusions before a penetration test. This checks structure, not signature authenticity or legal permission. Use when starting an engagement, reviewing a scope change, or checking a target before scanning. Trigger with "confirm authorization", "verify ROE", "check pentest authz", or "pre-flight authorization".

# Confirming Pentest Authorization
## Overview
Check a local Rules of Engagement (ROE) file before handing targets to a
scanner. Validate required metadata types, offset-aware timestamps, the
current window, an optional signer allowlist, and literal target inclusions
and exclusions. A malformed input or blocking finding returns nonzero even
when a display filter hides that finding.
This is a structural check, not signature verification, ownership proof or
legal authorization. Retain separately confirmed approval and signature
verification evidence with the ROE. Active scanners still need to enforce
resolved targets and redirects; this checker performs no network requests.
