Remedy
Name the source and the specific publication it appears in.
Severity
Structural — likely to produce a disputed resolution
Where it comes from
Who decides, and under what constraint?
Sources of truth, oracle and committee structures, appeal windows, halt criteria, and what a venue owes participants when the world refuses to be tidy.
