govoplan-mandates owns effective-dated institutional competence: tasks, jurisdiction, responsibility, decision or signature authority, legal basis, evidence, conflicts, suspension, replacement, and retirement.

Organizations owns structures and functions, IDM owns incumbency, Access owns application permissions, and Policy owns constraints. Mandates answers why an institution, unit, or function was competent to perform a governed action at a specific time.

The module stores immutable mandate revisions and exposes the provider-neutral mandates.resolver capability. Consumers retain exact returned references and evidence instead of reading Mandates tables.
