Why Mission-Bound OAuth Might Be the Wrong Answer

Mission-Bound OAuth is a serious attempt to govern delegated agent authority using existing OAuth infrastructure. This post takes the pessimistic view: it may be the wrong answer because it asks the authorization server to become a governance engine, a lifecycle controller, and a mission ledger all at once. A cleaner alternative is to treat Mission as a separate authority service and let OAuth be one projection of that model rather than its home.
