4. Post-Mortem Notes
- KNOWN ISSUE:
Executive.Powermodule attempts operations outside its defined scope. - REGRESSION:
Public.Trustmetrics show degradation followingjudicial.override. - FIXED (partially):
illegal.deployment.statusfor IL, CA, OR regions nowINACTIVE. - WORKAROUND: Deployments in federal districts (e.g., D.C.) and with explicit state governor consent (e.g., LA) remain stable.
- TODO: Implement more robust
jurisdiction.check()beforeNationalGuard.Deploy().
