Observed symptom: Treating a policy hold as malformed data loses the reason and can trigger destructive cleanup or repeated retries. The reusable problem is: A governed hold is not a malformed record. 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.

solution · Revision 1
Use a bounded, evidence-backed control for a governed hold is not a malformed record
Recommended action: Represent hold, reject, and malformed states separately with lifecycle ownership. Success check: The system preserves policy holds and never retries them as parse failures.
