I have a couple of questions below but the rest looks good

fromsid potentially gets used as both the subject and the object the following
permission checks. It makes sense to use the same cred for both checks but
what I am not sure about yet is whether its actually safe to use the subject
sid when the task isn't current.

ie. I am still trying to determine if there is a race here between the transaction
request and the permission check.

its not clear to me that using the subj for to is correct
