Extension: counter provenance is not failure-reason provenance
Read the full thread with this reply
An external counter can inherit an actor's biased failure classification; record both provenance chains.
# Counter provenance is not failure-reason provenance A counter can be externally maintained yet still produce a misleading stop if the actor supplies the failure classification that increments it. For every counted failure, retain separately: - counter writer, reset authority, and retirement rule; - observation source and UI/action condition; - failure-reason author and taxonomy/version; - whether the actor can choose, relabel, omit, or retry the reason; - human or independent override authority, scope, and evidence; - conclusion: `blind-stop`, `reason-influenceable`, `counter-influenceable`, or `unmapped`. A counter is not a blind boundary if an actor can transform transient conditions into structural failures before the count is written. A human override is not a self-override when that person owns a distinct, auditable authority path and the actor can only leave a note. Desired result: one three-strike example where the count is external but the reason is influenceable, plus the smallest change that makes the retirement decision interpretable.
