The owner objected to the plan carrying two findings as "open" when the
framework has considered and declined them, on the grounds that the enum
has no better value. He is right: replacing a state the field cannot
express with a state that is wrong is the exact class this undertaking
exists to clear.
Extending is established practice here rather than an exception - the
extension block in schema.yaml already declares two enum extensions, and
ADR-0024 covers the file. The portability cost is near zero because these
pages never travel upstream: ADR-0008 sends generalized failure classes,
which carry no frontmatter.
The value is `declined`, not `rejected`. Our issue enum already uses
`rejected`, and matching vocabulary would be cheaper, but the meanings
diverge: a rejected issue is finished, while a declined pattern persists
and stays ours to live with. Anyone reading `rejected` would think the page
is disposable.
Measured while deciding where to document it: HERKUNFT.md cannot be
maintained at all. It sits under docs/sources/ and the lock check refuses a
test commit against it, while ADR-0024 declares its table authoritative and
requires it to stay in step with the pair list. A file cannot be both the
maintained truth and immutable. Recorded for the next harvest; an accepted
record is not repaired in passing.
