WHAT STOOD IN THE WAY, as far as the record shows — computed at the read that failed, so it is a value and not a sentence.

It exists because the alternative was tried and it went false. A gap's why listed the causes somebody could think of; a cause nobody had thought of was added; the sentence was wrong and nobody had edited it. A frozen constant cannot know what happened at the site it is printed beside. The site can.

The set is closed AT THE SITE, which is narrower than everything that can go wrong upstream and is meant to be. A recording made before the receipt existed, a chart whose LLM stage mints none, and a run that declined with recordReceipt: false all leave the SAME record — no value under the receipt key — so they all land on 'no-receipt-committed'. Claiming to tell them apart there would be this field repeating the defect it was added to fix.

• 'no-receipt-committed' — nothing was committed under the receipt key on this epoch's call.
• 'receipt-shape-rejected' — something WAS committed there and the read refused it, because it carries no basis and a value without one is not a receipt. This is the value that means DAMAGE: a recording that lost or rewrote part of its own log. The other means the run simply never minted.
