Very interesting that you also considered this form of weakened fibrations!
I also thought a bit about basing things on a binary composition operation,
but I never could get it to work. I managed to convince myself some year
ago that in the presence of connections and reversals (potentially with
Boolean structure) homogeneous composition (hcomp^0->1) is equivalent to
binary composition, but without this structure on the interval I don't
really see what to do. But on the other hand, if you don't have connections
then I don't think you need the fibrations to lift against arbitrary
subtubes but rather only open boxes in the sense of BCH...
Anyway, the univalent universes (in particular fibrancy of Glue types) is
by far the hardest thing in our note (as seems to always be the case). The
way we do it is an adaptation of what we did back in CCHM, but because of
the weakness we have to do additional corrections in the construction which
makes it quite a bit longer.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that perhaps one should call these

Thanks for the pointer! I didn't know about them and will have to think a
bit whether what we have could be seen as a cubical variation of them.
