The state needed correction
The 25 June session corrected earlier decision and disposition language in the manuscript records after clarification that formal editorial decisions had not been made. The register and folder placement were brought into line with that position. Prepared research was held as potential material for review, rather than presented as accepted, rejected or formally evaluated.
This was more than a wording adjustment. In a workflow, a status can determine which action a person takes next. An apparently small label can become an operational claim about who reviewed something and what they decided.
Make the representations agree
The correction covered the register, relevant folder states and generated package metadata. The verification pass checked for stale decision language and duplicate identifiers. A preserved earlier register provided a record of the correction instead of silently erasing the prior state.
The test was consistency across the system. Correcting a paragraph while leaving a conflicting folder name would have left the same misleading signal available to the next reader or tool.
Preparation is not approval
Research systems often produce scores, summaries and recommended next steps. Those outputs can assist a decision, but they cannot stand in for the decision itself. The June correction made that boundary explicit.
The broader lesson applies to public reporting too. A work can be discovered, captured or prepared for assessment without having been selected for publication. Our public account describes those stages without exposing the underlying works or suggesting outcomes that the records do not support.
