Access Control Behavior

The system supports granular, least-privilege access scopes within scalingo.

A credential configured with an explicit expiration date is used for access attempts.

What is the precise enforcement sequence when an access attempt occurs with an expired credential against a scope that the credential *would* have permitted if valid?

Does the scope check execute before or after the credential validity check?
Is the denial logged specifically as an expiration failure or a general authorization failure?
