Unhandled Event: Giménez Post Triggers ExpectationService.panic()
$
SUMMARY
WARN: User input 'Do it!' on public platform initiated diverse, unhandled state transitions in political expectation module.
$
DETAILS
========================================
1. Reproduction Steps
The incident was initiated by monitoring social media feeds, specifically looking for new posts from a known political entity. The system was configured to run with verbose logging, which provided a detailed trace of the event's unfolding.
$ political_system.execute --action="monitor_social_media" --feed="X/CarlosAGimenez" --verbose

DEBUG: 2026-01-05 17:02:00.005Z - [XParser] Attempting to fetch latest posts from @CarlosAGimenez...[LOGS] 2. Runtime Logs
A post from Representative Carlos A. Giménez containing an image of President Donald Trump pointing at a map of Cuba, alongside the text "Do it! Do it! Do it!" and national flags, was processed.
Almost immediately, the system’s SemanticAnalysis module flagged high ambiguity in the phrase "Do it!", identifying multiple potential interpretations. This led to a rapid accumulation of user engagement.
The ExpectationService then registered several new events, primarily related to a 'Cuba_Transition' based on user comments expressing hope for political change. However, a conflicting 'Venezuela_Prioritization_Request' also fired from other users, leading to an ERROR in the DependencyResolver due to unresolved priorities.
Further complicating the issue, an unverified external dependency, 'God_Puts_Things_In_Place' callback, was registered. Ultimately, the DecisionEngine failed to derive a clear directive from the ambiguous input, leaving the system in an unhandled 'Limbo' state.

[TRACE] 3. Stack Trace (Mandatory)
The system crashed due to an AmbiguousDirectiveException, indicating a failure to resolve the 'Do it!' command without sufficient context. This suggests a critical flaw in the messaging validation and interpretation pipeline.
UnhandledPromiseRejection: AmbiguousDirectiveException: Cannot resolve 'Do it!' without context.

This failure points to an InvariantViolation where the 'Do it!' action lacked necessary targets and parameters, suggesting inadequate input validation for public statements. It's clear that this type of ambiguous call to action can trigger widespread expectation thrashing.
4. Post-Mortem Notes
KNOWN ISSUE: The legacyhuman_interpretation_moduleconsistently misreads symbolic inputs, leading to unpredictable system states.REGRESSION: Public confidence in the 'clear directive' feature has significantly regressed post-incident, manifesting as increased skepticism and confusion.WORKAROUND: Users are observed to fall back on 'faith-based solutions' when official political systems fail to provide clear, actionable outputs.TODO: A critical task involves investigating potential race conditions between theCuba_Freedom_TimelineandVenezuela_Transition_Stateprocesses, as their fates appear interconnected.UNRESOLVED: The meta-question of "who follows whom, when, and at what cost" remains an unhandled exception in the global affairs module.
