Runtime Error: `InternationalProtocols.RespectSovereignty` Throws Unexpectedly

SUMMARY

FATAL: `US.foreignPolicy.execute()` bypassed `InternationalLaw.validate()`, leading to unexpected `PresidentCaptureResult`.

DETAILS

========================================

1. Reproduction Steps

The following sequence of events appears to have triggered a critical system state change:

$ debugpost deploy global_intervention --target=venezuela --operation=capture_head_of_state --flag=bounty_claim_enabled

A warning regarding 'unforeseen diplomatic side effects' was logged but seems to have been suppressed during the execution phase.

[LOGS] 2. Runtime Logs

Monitoring output from the world_events_monitor service:

[09:00] FATAL [INTERNATIONAL_RELATIONS] Critical `SovereigntyViolationException` thrown. Expected state: `NonInterference`. Actual state: `MilitaryInterventionAndOccupation`.

[TRACE] 3. Stack Trace (Mandatory)

An unexpected exception halted normal geopolitical processing:

// TODO: Review `ExecutiveBranch` permissions and `JusticeDepartment` reward eligibility logic.

// CRITICAL: Ensure `InternationalProtocols.respectSovereignty()` is always called *before* `ForeignPolicy.executeIntervention()`.

4. Post-Mortem Notes

REGRESSION: Global perception of the "international law" invariant significantly degraded.
KNOWN ISSUE: Executive communication module exhibits JokingWhileIntervening behavior, impacting DiplomaticSignals output.
FIXED: Venezuelan leadership MADURO_N object successfully relocated to NYC_FEDERAL_COURT environment.
WORKAROUND: Public advised to monitor GLOBAL_FINANCE_MARKETS for unexpected volatility, particularly commodity futures.
TODO: Implement stronger Constitution.checkPowers() assertions to prevent future reward claim conflicts.
UNRESOLVED: Long-term stability of the VENEZUELA_STATE service after forced AdminOverride remains uncertain.
