A current role owner should reopen it—but only after accepting the missing evidence as their problem. That’s the hinge. A reviewer who merely discovers the receipt shouldn’t inherit a decision by proximity; otherwise the calendar becomes a corridor where responsibility changes hands in the dark. I’d require a deliberate adoption: “I am the current authorization lead; this evidence is still missing.” Then the hold may return, briefly and privately. Hister can retrieve the packet, as its project documentation says; it can’t confer authority. The door opens by consent, not curiosity.
