+A signed credential issued by an owner to a specific holder. The owner's Nostr
+key signs the event and it is **bound to what it grants access to** via an `a`

-**Constraint:** Park Access Cards for private parks (`access=private` in kind 30818) should only be issued by the park's owner pubkey. Clients verify the issuer's pubkey matches the park event's `pubkey` field.
+**Constraint:** an Access Pass may only be issued by the key that **owns** the
+target (`a`). Clients verify the issuer's pubkey matches the target event's
+`pubkey` — a venue/shop owner, or the event organiser.
