## Title

    Preserve truthful advertising ID declarations when validator state conflicts

## Body

    FACT: The examined Android submission path found a validator conflict around Advertising ID while the candidate was intended to contain no advertising-ID permission or behavior; the truthful No declaration was retained and the submission remained blocked pending support. INFERENCE: Policy declarations must follow actual behavior, not a pressure to make a validator green. RECOMMENDATION: Inspect the exact candidate, preserve the truthful declaration, and resolve stale or historical validator state through the platform's supported channel.
