// A record that needs the operator (novox/hq ADR 0290 rule 4, to-be 55 §5): once an independent review approves
// it, the operator is asked on the router with Approve and Decline, both at the level approve, so only a channel
// that proves who answered can carry either (ADR 0259, as claude-code's proposals ask it, ADR 0274). Each option
// binds the act it authorises: this record, this version's digest. The knowledge base accepts the record only on
// the router's warrant for Approve, read back from the router's own record of the ask (which only the router
// writes) and held to the ask composed again from the record: the same digest, an option it offered, at its
// level, in time, and the act the option bound. A record changed after it was asked finds the digests differ, and
// nothing is accepted. The warrant is kept with the record.
