**PROSECUTOR:** A turns one verified Mac socket into a default across sixteen copies without proving that each service reaches the same PostgreSQL instance. Switching from TCP to sockets can change authentication behavior despite preserving credentials. Honoring `PGHOST` also introduces configuration precedence that hardcoding previously suppressed: a stale environment variable could redirect a service. Platform detection is not deployment discovery. Neither B nor C being weaker proves A safe.

**DEFENDER:** Those objections undermine an unconditional rollout, which A expressly excludes. A authorizes reviewable patches and requires verification of actual service environments and durable configuration before deployment. It preserves Linux’s existing TCP fallback, uses the verified Mac socket, and enables explicit host configuration. Authentication differences and stale `PGHOST` values are concrete verification requirements. They do not establish that the proposed patch is wrong.

**JUDGE:** The prosecutor identifies credible failure modes, but no evidence that they invalidate preparing A under its verification gate. Approval must remain limited to patch preparation; deployment requires confirming the effective host, intended database instance, and authentication for each affected service.

FINAL: KEEP

The controlling argument is the distinction between preparing a configurable correction and authorizing its deployment. A addresses the hardcoded-host problem while preserving Linux’s existing fallback and requiring environment verification before rollout. The strongest objections concern deployment assumptions that remain unproven; they justify enforcing that gate, not overturning the preliminary decision.
