ArtistPolicy, ArtistEngagementPolicy, StagePolicy, PerformancePolicy, GenrePolicy. Role-based authorization mirroring PersonPolicy/ShiftPolicy pattern: super_admin bypass, org-membership check via wherePivotIn, event_manager fallback for event-level operations. Each policy carries a class-level docblock mapping the RFC §9 permission strings (events.view_program, events.manage_program, organisations.manage_artists, organisations.manage_settings) to the roles authorised, deferring permission-based authorisation to AUTH-PERMISSIONS-MIGRATION. ArtistPolicy.delete additionally guards on no-active-engagements (D27): blocks soft-delete while any engagement is not Cancelled, Rejected, or Declined. PerformancePolicy.move and StagePolicy.reorder reuse canManageProgram so the move endpoint and stage-reorder share the manage_program permission semantics. Auto-discovered by Laravel 11 (policies live at App\Policies\* matching top-level App\Models\* — no explicit Gate::policy registration needed).

About Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
