Description

I'm sure there were discussions that the preauthorised code flow is not secure enough to be used with HAIP - however I can't find any text that disallows it.

The closest text is: https://openid.github.io/OpenID4VC-HAIP/openid4vc-high-assurance-interoperability-profile-1_0-wg-draft.html#section-4.2

But that just requires both parties to support offers that use authorization code flow, they can still choose to use the preauthorized code flow.

Research direction

Read section 4.2 of the linked OpenID4VC-HAIP draft first, then review the issue discussion for the rationale around pre-authorized code flow. Determine whether HAIP is intended to prohibit that flow, and make the specification wording unambiguous about the conclusion.
