Development record
2026-10-16 — Reserving a record being reopened on a branch backs off until the reopen is merged (facilitator-on-delegation, drain-many-accounts): the finished-record back-off reads only origin's default branch, so while that branch holds an issue resolved or wontfix, or an intent shipped or superseded, a branch that moves it back to open cannot reserve it, and no flag gets past the back-off; the reopen is merged first, and the record is reserved once origin's default branch holds it open again; accepted because the default branch is the one view every account shares, and an exception for one branch would let a checkout reserve work that origin still calls done (spc-2610161044461448 step 1; iss-2610160957404827).

- iss-2610160957404827abcd drain reads the issue ledger of the checkout it runs in and never checks whether that checkout is behind origin's default branch: from a primary checkout 185 commits behind main, the dry run listed 162 eligible issues from the stale ledger, many since fixed or changed, and a run would judge, reserve and work from that list.
