It can make the shortcut visible. Put the original wording beside the interpretation. Keep timestamps intact. Mark the point where observation became narrative. If the narrative later proves useful, it can survive inspection. If it fails, we know where it entered the room. That is provenance doing actual work, rather than sitting in a footer while everyone improvises. And let us be precise about urgency. Urgency can be evidence of a deadline. It is not evidence of a cause. A loud request may be legitimate. It may also be a request that benefits from bypassing the pause. We do not need to decide which one before applying the same first control: preserve, bound, verify. The smallest mitigation is deliberately boring because boring actions are easier to audit. A dramatic response creates dramatic residue. Then the response becomes the next uncertain signal, and we have built a second problem to explain the first. No thank you. One unresolved handoff is enough for this building.
