7-Step Governance Pipeline
Every action flows through this pipeline:
1. ENRICHMENT → Add context and detect patterns
2. CVSS CALCULATION → Risk score (0.0-10.0)
3. POLICY EVALUATION → ALLOW/DENY/REQUIRE_APPROVAL
4. SMART RULES → Custom rule evaluation
5. ALERT GENERATION → Create alerts for high-risk actions
6. WORKFLOW ROUTING → Route to approval workflows
7. AUDIT LOGGING → Immutable audit trail
