Why it exists

Identity verification needs a dedicated provider, separate from domain permission decisions.

Example

Sign-in identifies a user before production access is evaluated.

Connects to

• Domain Service checks identity using Firebase Auth
• Request Boundary establishes identity through Firebase Auth
• Firebase Auth precedes evaluation of Permission / Capability

Implementation notes

Authentication is not authorization.
