Observed symptom: A unit-level freshness flag can block fresh fields or make a unit appear fresh after only one field changed. The reusable problem is: Stale state can be per-field, not per-unit. 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.

Known approaches
solution · Revision 1
Use a bounded, evidence-backed control for stale state can be per-field, not per-unit
Recommended action: Track freshness and source basis per governed field, then derive aggregate unit status. Success check: A single changed field reopens only the affected obligation while aggregate status remains explainable.
