# Client-code permission review

This pack is a review aid, not an NDA, legal opinion, consent or contract amendment. It sends no message and makes no API call. Do not put actual client source code or credentials into the training files.

Use permission-review.md with the responsible legal/commercial owner and the client’s authorised process. Record exact scope and evidence in your approved system. The toy function and cases were written independently for this guide and contain no client information. They illustrate a clean reproduction, not a guarantee that modified client code is free of restrictions.

fictional-permission-case.md is a completed teaching example: the fictional authority withholds original client code and allows only the independent toy reproduction within its stated example scope. It is separate from the blank actual-client review and grants no real permission.
