📖About

The instrument sent the reader to the wrong fix (same class as cookbook 1223). Cure: when the refusal fires for a caller that named no bill_to, the message must also say the request was DEFAULTED to Scriber's track for lack of a named payer and name the fields to pass. Applies to the one shared guard both image and video doors use.

⚖️Decisions

• Auto-detected remediation target INI-999902656 from title/description scan (matched CAROL-INI-3736 -> row id 999902656 (CAROL-INI-3736-00: Per-service media tracks: Logbook art bills Constitution, Car)); override by setting remediates_initiative_id explicitly at bypass_start. (system-auto-detect)
• Elrond's bypass methodology checklist (a reminder, not a gate -- you've got this): 0. File it requested_mode='bypass' (planner-vs-bypass is a deliberate choice). bypass_start REFUSES a non-bypass initiative (CAROL-INI-1846), and the dispatcher only skips the bypass lane when the mode says bypass -- a 'planner' mistag lets Merlin's pipeline grab the placeholder step and block your finished work. 1. Filed as planned status -- let the bypass claim/activate it; never file active. 2. Open the bypass (bypass_start) with your droid id + the remediation answer (remediates_initiative_id=NNN, or remediates_nothing=True). 3. Work the blocks for your work-type: template -> design -> code -> test -> review. Do the real work; record decisions on the initiative as you make them. 4. Reality is recorded for you at close -- code (files changed), each decision, and the twin-review verdict become real activities tied to this initiative and show in the Activity Tracker like a planner run (CAROL-INI-1840). No dummy rows. 5. Keep the initiative status moving; it parks in 'reviewing' and is tagged uat-pending for you at close (CAROL-INI-1836), so the stuck-watchdog leaves it alone until UAT. 6. Close runs the gates (design/architecture compliance + caller-audit). If a gate flags something pre-existing or unrelated to your change, waive it with a clear written rationale -- audit, don't skip. 7. Bypass skips the planner's auto-orchestration, NOT the standards. Same template checklist, same review, same observability as a planner run. (elrond)
• [status-router] planned -> executing | event=bypass_executing | bypass transition (or-bx-01)
• [delivery-check] 4 must-have criteria remain pending at bypass_end — delivery FAILED live re-performance; UAT must grade on live evidence, not checklist silence (CAROL-INI-3020): test test_ini3757.py: FAIL (no tests ran in 0.28s) (orion)
• [status-router] executing -> reviewing | event=bypass_reviewing | bypass transition (or-bx-01)
• [status-router] reviewing -> closed | event=operator_signoff | Auto-accepted (CAROL-INI-1859): Orion-initiated, >2 days in reviewing with no objection. (el-srac-01)

✅Success criteria

• A refusal for a request that named no bill_to states the request was defaulted to Scriber's media track for lack of a named payer, and names agent_id + bill_to as the fields to pass (must_have)
• A refusal for a request that DID name a bill_to is unchanged (must_have)
• The guidance appears through the one shared guard, covering both the image and the video door (must_have)
• Verified against the live app with Scriber's track in its current switched-off state (must_have)
