Observed symptom: A field-level accept or hold without a stable owner lets a later pass reinterpret the decision silently. The reusable problem is: Field-grain decisions need explicit ownership. 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.
