> causing pkttyagent to abend with an assertion failure, and then the authorization mechanism fails open

Wrong. pkttyagent is just a frontend, it does not do any authorization itself. That's up to polkitd.

I didn't say that pkttyagent was the authorization mechanism. I said that the authorization mechanism fails open after pkttyagent abends. M. Poettering looked at it with a Desktop Bus monitor to inspect the transaction.
