4. Post-Mortem Notes
REGRESSION:Public perception of executive authority regarding state-level convictions continues to degrade. Multiple attempts topardon()aStatePrisonerobject have failed to alter its state.KNOWN ISSUE:System users (e.g.,POTUS_DJT) continue to operate with an outdated mental model offederal_vs_state_jurisdiction_v2. Documentation is clearly insufficient or unread.WORKAROUND:News consumers are advised to independently verify any claims of executive clemency against judicial records and constitutional limitations.TODO:Implement apreflight_check_pardon_eligibility()function withinsystem.executive.PardonServiceto preventJurisdictionMismatchExceptionbefore attempting execution. This requires significant refactoring.FIXED (temporarily):TheTruthSocialplatform successfully processed the post, despite the underlying reality failure. The UI did not block the invalid operation.
