Draft itd-165 still says an inconclusive verdict deliberately creates no record and that no audit verdicts exist yet (.abcd/development/intents/drafts/itd-165-an-intent-that-fails-its-own-fidelity.md:24, :26), while ruling DQ1c superseded the first reading (dcn-2609300000000027), commit b68b3d402 built an issue filed for every failed or undecided after-merge audit, and 119 shipped intents now carry acceptance rollups. The draft reads as the plan for behaviour that already ships differently.

• dcn-26093000000000272026-09-30 — An after-merge fidelity audit that fails or comes back undecided leaves the intent shipped and flagged, and the ingest captures one issue carrying the owed check (ruling DQ1c of the product thinker, 2026-09-30, relayed by the orchestrator of autonomous run A; applied by lane dq1cFlag). DQ1c, verbatim: "(a) STAYS SHIPPED, FLAGGED: the intent stays in shipped/, its changelog entry stands, and a 'check still owed' flag names the unmet/undecided criteria until it is fixed and re-checked." The product thinker's note, verbatim: "can it auto-capture an issue with the remaining check? Either fix it or check again etc.?" It defines what "reopen" means for a shipped intent under DQ1a ("an UNDECIDED audit REOPENS the work") and DQ1b ("until the loop is ready it stays after the merge (reopen on undecided/fail)"): nothing un-ships. As built: a verdict judging any criterion NOT_MET or INCONCLUSIVE writes an audit-owed flag in its Audit Notes block naming each such criterion, the receipt, the remedy ("fix, then re-run the audit" when a criterion failed, "re-run the audit" when every owed one is undecided) and the issue carrying it; that issue is captured through capture.Capture, the one filer, as a major bug for a failure and a minor inconsistency for an undecided verdict (both in the drain's fixable set, so the drain's field rules decide as for any issue; the remedy is real, so H12's automatic-filer value does not apply), related to the intent, with the filing-time match, and a later failed or undecided audit of the same receipt links to it while it is open. A re-emit of a flagged receipt rewrites its request (`check_owed`); a re-run judging no criterion NOT_MET or INCONCLUSIVE replaces the block without the flag, leaves a dated clearance line below it, and resolves the issue with impact fix. This supersedes itd-165's draft reading that an inconclusive verdict creates no record: DQ1c is the later ruling and names the undecided case.
