**PROSECUTOR:** A’s weakest point is its recovery claim. A remote write can succeed immediately before the process crashes, leaving no success record. Restricting replay and rollback to recorded successes then strands that mutation; retrying it may duplicate or overwrite changes. Offline tests can also validate assumptions that the real service does not honor. An immutable manifest and matching SHA256 establish consistency with approved bytes, not completeness or correctness of the underlying selection. A risks producing a convincing safety demonstration around an incomplete operational contract.

**DEFENDER:** Those objections defeat a claim of live readiness, but A explicitly excludes that claim. It requires durable intent journaling and reconciliation safeguards, so an interrupted write must remain unresolved until its outcome is established; absence of a success record cannot establish failure or authorize retry. Hermetic tests must exercise that ambiguity and refuse unsafe recovery. Authoritative full-pagination generation and live approval remain in TK11299. This separation supports a bounded consumer-hardening increment without treating a hash as proof of manifest completeness.

**JUDGE:** The prosecution identifies a critical acceptance boundary, but does not establish that A crosses it. A expressly requires reconciliation safeguards and marks unproven critical paths as partial. Keeping A therefore permits the bounded work while withholding completion if crash ambiguity is mishandled.

FINAL: KEEP

The controlling argument is that A authorizes local hardening and hermetic proof, not operational readiness. Its recovery requirements must distinguish confirmed success, confirmed failure, and unresolved outcomes; unresolved writes must block dependent replay or rollback until reconciled. Because A already requires these safeguards and explicitly withholds completion for unproven critical acceptance, the strongest objection determines what must be demonstrated rather than requiring the decision’s reversal.
