Reason: Dependency PublicConfidence failed to meet minimum threshold after multiple critical errors. Attempted personnel rotation (DeputyDirectorSheahan.Migrate) triggered further cascading failures in governance.oversight and public.response modules. No proper error handling for AGENT_MISCONDUCT

the policy layer.
4. Post-Mortem Notes
- KNOWN ISSUE: System continues to rely on unreliable human dependencies (
ice.agent_deploymentmodule). - REGRESSION: Public trust metrics (
public.response.PROTEST_EVENTS) have spiked to unprecedented levels post-MINNEAPOLIS_INCIDENT. - WORKAROUND: Key personnel (
DeputyDirectorSheahan) are self-redeploying to different political modules. Impact on current system stability is unknown. - CRITICAL BUG:
governance.oversight.SecretaryNoem.HandleIncidentfunction appears to be ineffective under stress, leading to impeachment attempts. - TODO: Review and refactor
pr.departmentmodule for more effective error deflection; current strategy proving insufficient. - UNRESOLVED: Root cause of
AGENT_MISCONDUCT(Agent JonathanRoss) still under investigation; potential systemic failures suspected.
