v3.14.7 - a path-level hold on the recommended method

§C4 says medium requires the chosen method's gates to be satisfied, and the line below it says a candidate held by a prerequisite path this interview cannot reach does not lower the confidence. Those coexist until the held candidate is the one being recommended, which happens whenever DMS or transactional replication wins: invariant 15 then puts the winner's gate at unknown_requires_assessment, so one line forbids medium and the other permits it for the same fully answered estate.

medium is the answer. The alternative gives low to a user who answered every question, and a scale that always says the same thing says nothing. The medium line admits that case by name, the exception says what happens when it holds the winner, and the card states which path is unread and names the prerequisite plan as the next step.

Writing the scenario for it found the other half: the invariant-15 alignment was promoting such a winner to available, announcing as checked a route whose prerequisite rows nobody had read. Agreement is reached from the candidate's side now, and the gate follows.

76 gates, 118 scenarios, 3625 prerequisite checks.
