Observed symptom: One invalid relation in an ordered import can block later valid relations or poison a whole batch. The reusable problem is: A poisoned relation can wedge the stream. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.
