An auditable waiver process for security red-team findings provides a documented, time-boxed path to clear blocking issues when remediation is delayed. It enforces calendar expirations, independent approvals, and an ADR-driven paper trail across vision logs.

Yes, the waiver workflow enforces prerequisites including a valid ISO expiration date and an explicit remediation plan. These governance rules prevent permanent waivers by ensuring temporary exceptions are time-boxed with clear corrective actions.

Yes, you can use ADRs to document blocking-council waiver approvals. The process integrates with _decisions and _history directories to maintain a complete ADR-driven paper trail tracking open waivers, outcomes, and historical audit logs.

The limitation of time-boxed waivers is they cannot grant permanent exceptions; governance rules enforce calendar expirations, independent approval checks, and a complete ADR paper trail to ensure blocking security findings are eventually remediated.
