    weeks-to-empty). Plain SQL over the ledger.

-- Unauthenticated kiosk take: accepted (matches shopfloor kiosk posture);

+### Decision: the kiosk take endpoint is an unauthenticated WRITE
+
+This is the first open mutation in the product - every existing kiosk
+endpoint (notifications, employees, shopfloor) is a read, and the closest
+write (USB checkout) is JWT + permission gated. Accepted deliberately, on
+these grounds, and any future open-write endpoint must meet the same bar:
+
+1. Decrement-only: it can reduce stock of an active item, nothing else - no
+   catalog edits, no restocks, no reads it does not already expose.
+2. Fully attributed: it refuses to act without a badge that resolves per the
+   site policy; every action lands in the ledger with SSO + name + time.
+3. Bounded blast radius: worst case is stock counts driven low, which the
+   ledger makes visible and reversible (adjust with reason).
+4. Physically rate-limited: it exists for a touch screen on the shop floor;
+   there is nothing to enumerate and nothing returned worth scraping.
