PIC Profile 0.2 defines centralized PIC-X-mediated authority continuity.

This walkthrough follows one sensitive-document execution from OAuth authority into PIC Token JWT 0, then through two workload-produced candidate transitions.

OAuth authority
        |
        v
PCA 0
{ read document-42, save }
        |
        | Worker 1 reads document-42
        | remove read authority
        v
PCA 1
{ save }
        |
        | Worker 2 stores the result
        | remove save authority
        v
PCA 2
{ no execution invariants }

Cryptographic byte values, compact tokens, signatures, hashes, and COSE byte strings below are illustrative. The structure and field semantics follow Profile 0.2.
