4. Post-Mortem Notes

  • KNOWN ISSUE: executive.power.module continues to exhibit unpredictable behavior when judicial.review flags are set to true.
  • REGRESSION: Public confidence metric, citizenship.trust.index, showed significant dips correlating with prolonged legal disputes.
  • WORKAROUND: State governors successfully utilized judicial.review.initiate() function to force federal.deployment.rollback().
  • FIXED (partial): ~500 NationalGuard.entity instances returned to original state.resource.pool.
  • PENDING: DOJ.legalchallenge.oregon ticket remains open, indicating potential for future resurfacing of this bug.
  • TODO: Implement stricter sanity_checks() for executive.rhetoric.output regarding 'Insurrection Act' references.
