+## 15. Local SELinux policy module `fapolicyd_tmpfs` (added 2026-07-03)
+
+Not a STIG-rule waiver — a **minimal local `allow` module** shipped to close an
+**exec-guard gap** under enforcing SELinux. Source: `files/stig/fapolicyd-tmpfs.te`;
+built + `semodule -i`'d in the 2c-STIG provisioner (right after #14).
+
+**The one rule:** `allow fapolicyd_t tmpfs_t:filesystem getattr;`
+
+**Why:** fapolicyd is the app-allowlisting **exec guard for the writable RAM
+overlay** — dm-verity covers only the read-only erofs lower, so a binary dropped
+into the tmpfs overlay upper is exactly what fapolicyd must catch (this is why we
+KEEP fapolicyd; see "Things that are NOT deviations"). fapolicyd `statfs`'s mounts
+to decide which to watch, and **tmpfs is in its default `watch_fs`**. This image's
+root is `systemd.volatile=overlay`, so `statfs("/")` returns the overlay **upper**
+— a tmpfs (audit: `dev=tmpfs ino=1 name="/"`, `fapolicyd_t → tmpfs_t:filesystem
+getattr`, `permissive=0`, seen 2026-07-03). The shipped policy has no such rule
+(no ordinary host has its root on tmpfs), so under enforcing the `getattr` is
+**denied**, fapolicyd cannot fully mark the tmpfs mounts (`/`, `/tmp`, `/dev/shm`),
+and its guard over the writable overlay is **incomplete** — a real gap, not just
+SIEM noise. An **`allow`** (not `dontaudit`): we *want* fapolicyd to see the tmpfs.
+
+**Scope:** one perm (`getattr`) on one class (`filesystem`), two well-known types.
+Grants no file read/write, only the `statfs` fapolicyd needs to classify + watch
+the mount. **BENCH-VERIFY:** (a) the AVC is gone on an enforcing boot; (b) fapolicyd
+**blocks a non-RPM executable dropped in `/tmp`** (proves the guard now covers the
+overlay tmpfs) while the trusted kiosk/appliance binaries still run; (c)
+**reproducibility** — `semodule -i` rebuilds the policy store, so re-check verity
+hash stability across two builds (same concern as #12/#14). NB: only shipped when
+`enable_stig=true`; a non-STIG enforcing build would still see the AVC and the gap.

 ## Things that are NOT deviations (kept / enforced)
 
 - **SELinux enforcing** (`selinux --enforcing`; labels preserved into the erofs).

+# dm-verity covers only the read-only erofs lower, so an executable dropped into
+# the tmpfs overlay upper is exactly what fapolicyd must catch. fapolicyd statfs's
+# mounts to decide which to watch, and tmpfs is in its default watch_fs. This
+# host's root is `systemd.volatile=overlay`, so statfs("/") returns the overlay
+# UPPER — a tmpfs (the audit shows dev=tmpfs ino=1, name="/") — and the shipped
+# policy has no `fapolicyd_t tmpfs_t:filesystem getattr` rule (no normal host has
+# its root on tmpfs). Result under enforcing: the getattr is DENIED, fapolicyd
+# cannot fully mark the tmpfs mounts (/, /tmp, /dev/shm), and its guard over the
+# writable overlay is incomplete — a real exec-guard gap, not just SIEM noise.
+# This single allow closes it. Minimal + auditable; justified in
