REQ-082: Reconcile ambiguous managed release side effects

Requirement

Managed release finalization shall reconcile ambiguous side effects without an unsafe duplicate mutation.

Rationale

A lost response can follow a committed draft, tag, or publication; a matching name or commit alone cannot attribute the effect to the original request.

Fit Criterion

Retain independently durable intent before each possible side effect. Reject a tag proven to predate a new release intent and any unrelated draft or conflicting tag claiming the same version; an existing same-intent tag needs authenticated attribution. Incomplete or unauthorized inventory and unverifiable outcomes are UNKNOWN. Do not blindly retry; permit a retry only under proven same-intent idempotency and fencing. Block dependent mutations and success until the outcome and possible late effects are reconciled.

Verification

Planned, TEST-082 and TEST-086; the authority, attribution, and exclusion mechanisms remain unselected.
