wiki: design the business layer (session, tariff, permit, vision, shift, ops)

Pivot from the hardware/integrity layer to the parking operation. All
wiki-only; no code yet. Core principle throughout: business entities are
projections over the signed append-only event log, never mutable tables.

New concepts: parking-session, tariff (composable/versioned, FX-ready),
shift (manned-only Z-report), capacity-occupancy, validation-discounts,
reporting-analytics, clock-integrity, ticket-encoding, anti-passback.
New entities: permit, opencv-anpr-service, blocklist.
Decisions: session-model, vision-service (host-side ANPR + vehicle
verification; scoped AGPL exception for the isolated service).

Updates: append-only-event-chain (new event types + vision witness),
local-jwt-auth (drop 8h expiry -> until logout; code change pending),
lpr-camera (host-side recognition supersedes edge-AI), standing-decisions
(AGPL exception), open-questions (+FX, +pay-station money corners, backup).

Deferred + flagged: intercom/help-call, receipts/refunds/change, FX engine,
lane topology (#1).

# Clock Integrity
Fees are a function of **time** ([[tariff]]: `fee = f(enteredAt, asOf)`), and the event chain is
ordered/timestamped. So **the host clock is part of the trust model** — and on an offline appliance
([[offline-first]], no NTP guarantee) it's a real attack surface, fitting the
[[threat-model|operator-as-adversary]] frame:
- **Backdating to cut a fee** — wind the clock back so a long stay computes as short, or so an exit
timestamps before its entry.
- **Forward/backward jumps** that corrupt durations, the rolling-24h cap, or shift boundaries
([[shift]]).
- An operator with host access changing the system time deliberately.
## What protects it
- **Monotonic chain order is independent of wall-clock.** The [[append-only-event-chain]] `index`
is strictly increasing regardless of timestamps, so **reordering** is caught even if timestamps
are forged. But the *durations* used for pricing still rely on the wall clock — so:
- **Detect clock anomalies and record them as events.** A timestamp that goes **backwards** between
consecutive chain events, or jumps implausibly, is an `anomaly` (the type already exists) — signed
and surfaced to [[reconciliation]], not silently accepted.
- **Hardware-backed time where possible.** A battery-backed RTC on the appliance; the
[[atecc608]]/secure element and [[disk-os-hardening]] reduce casual tampering. An operator
changing time should require privilege the booth login doesn't have.
- **Opportunistic trusted sync** when a [[reconciliation]] channel is briefly online (the same
USB/hotspot path) — set/check the clock against an external authority, log any correction as an
event.
## Stance
Like the rest of the system: **prevention (hardened host, privileged-only time change) first,
detection (anomaly on clock regression, reconciliation) as the backstop.** The clock can't be made
unforgeable on an offline box, but a forged clock can be made **visible**.
## Open
- RTC / time source on the chosen appliance ([[bom]]).
- Tolerance thresholds for "implausible" jumps before flagging.
- Whether to hard-refuse an event on a backwards clock vs. record-and-flag (record-and-flag matches
the append-only ethos — never drop).
