+# language: en
+# Drives S-12 (#13). A behandelaar picks up a submitted registration for beoordeling and decides it:
+# goedkeuren enters it in the register (INGESCHREVEN, the zaak's final status set via the ACL, §8.1),
+# afwijzen turns it down (AFGEWEZEN). This scenario exercises the use cases against in-memory
+# stand-ins for the ACL and the store; real Flowable user-task claim/complete arrives in a later
+# sub-slice and is verified live.
+Feature: Een registratie beoordelen
+  Als behandelaar wil ik een ingediende registratie beoordelen
+  zodat deze wordt ingeschreven of afgewezen.
+
+  Scenario: Goedkeuren schrijft de registratie in via de ACL
+    Given a submitted registration with an opened zaak
+    When the behandelaar takes it into behandeling
+    Then the registration has status "INBEHANDELING"
+    When the behandelaar decides "goedkeuren"
+    Then the registration has status "INGESCHREVEN"
+    And the zaak's final status is set via the ACL
+
+  Scenario: Afwijzen wijst de registratie af zonder de ACL
+    Given a submitted registration with an opened zaak
+    When the behandelaar takes it into behandeling
+    And the behandelaar decides "afwijzen"
+    Then the registration has status "AFGEWEZEN"
+    And the ACL is not asked to set the zaak status
