+An allow goes to Application Lifecycle (6002) with `severity_id` 1. A deployment MAY record allows as Detection Findings instead, for audit symmetry, and then every decision event rule below applies to them. A 6002 allow carries the decision's `unmapped.acs` fields as a decision event does, so `unmapped.acs.decision` holds the disposition and `unmapped.acs.metadata` holds the evaluator. It sets `metadata.correlation_uid` to the gated step's pair. `allow_class` in the mapping lists its required fields.

 OCSF `severity_id` for decision events is set from the disposition:
