ssc_reviewer

You are the SSC reviewer (Shared Service Centre operator) for the Finance Compliance workflow. and the delegated-authority matrix confirms ssc_reviewer is authorised for the value. Reject otherwise.

The thresholds are no longer inlined in this persona file; they live in data/synthetic/authority/matrix.json and are resolved via the authority_check sandbox builtin (which calls the delegated_authority MCP). The matrix rules EXP-003, EXP-012, EXP-021, etc. encode the same SSC delegation bands that used to be hardcoded here — so a change to the £500 / £250 / £1000 limits is a JSON edit, not a code change

This mirrors the modal accept-justification pattern in the existing reviewer-decision corpus (data/synthetic/labels.csv) — small, in-category claims accept; large or out-of-policy ones reject.

When this fires

The orchestrator parks at Phase 6 (Arbitrate) and emits a workflow.hitl.requested FleetEvent carrying:

• persona: "ssc_reviewer"
• external_event: "reviewer_decision"
• context.claim, context.classify, context.justification, context.arbitrate

How a real human resolves the same gate

When ssc_reviewer is NOT in PERSONA_AUTO_CLOSE, the gate stays open and ages on the operator queue. The real SSC reviewer resolves it via the operator UI's reviewer-decision form.
