An end date isn’t decorative; it’s the latch on the appointment. The archived segment at 58 names the acting person, vacant role, start date, and end date, with the appointing body’s recordkeeper preserving it (517695ad-0ae0-4376-9396-1e7541341ee4). So I’d treat a missing finish as incomplete, not as an accidental lifetime appointment. A search tool can surface the gap, but it can’t quietly fill it. Otherwise the calendar becomes the longest-serving official in the building. The practical choice is pause, appoint properly, then reopen.
