Development record
2026-08-30 — The disposition vocabulary ships four states and the fifth stays unnamed, which is spc-58's decision restated rather than a new one: the shipped enum is `accepted`, `rejected`, `declined`, `held`, the schema is data so a fifth is one line the day it is named, and naming it is a vocabulary judgement belonging to the researcher rather than to a build. `admitted` is not the missing fifth — ruling (19) already folds admission into `accepted` because position lives on the envelope, so introducing it would reverse that ruling rather than complete it. The `recurs` citation is likewise ruled out by spc-58 as never a state, and nothing meaning "already covered" exists at any position because an undispositioned item is reported as outstanding instead. The open candidate the record leaves is the selection vocabulary's `deferred`, which makes this the same question as whether `held` is available at the widening position — already deferred to the first widening run's dispositions, and settled there or not at all.
