A category-theoretic version of the identity type weak factorization system

Gambino and Garner proved that the syntactic category of a dependent type theory with identity types can be endowed with a weak factorization system structure, called identity type weak factorization system. In this paper we consider an enrichment of Joyal's notion of tribe, which we call a tribe with weakly stable path objects, and prove a purely category-theoretic version of the identity type weak factorization system, thus generalizing Gambino and Garner's result. We conclude showing that this structure subsumes also the weak factorization systems coming from the topological and simplicial models of identity types obtained by van den Berg and Garner.
