A re-emit of a fidelity review request reports already_owed and says nothing about the request it just rewrote. abcd intent audit <itd-N> on a shipped intent whose marker is OWED takes the already_owed branch of emitAuditForIntent, which rewrites the request file through writeAuditRequest and then returns with status already_owed; the status names the receipt's state, which is true, and omits the write, which is what the caller asked for. A lane in the Gropius sweep read already_owed as "nothing happened" and looked for a failure. Relayed from session gropiusllm-66 on 2026-09-19 at v0.9.0. Wanted: the result names the request path it wrote (re_emitted: true, or the path member populated) so the status and the action are both readable from the JSON.

Grounds

• pursued: a caller reads from the result alone whether a request was written and where; an already_owed result without request_written, or a terminal one naming a request path, would show it wrong
