decision: >-
  Collection mutations and sweep repair use the gated attention publisher;
  disabling it suppresses Platform reads and writes made through that publisher.

origin: >-
  The Work Coordinator's deploy-order rule (Andrew, 2026-10-18: reference a
  Platform module only behind a switch that is off until it is live in that
  environment), recorded at services-accounting:lib/attention.ts (header)
alternatives:
  - option: Call Platform attention unconditionally.
    why_not: >-
      The available incident record describes whole batch-write failures before
      that dependency was deployed.
consequences:
  - >-
    The pinned deployment configuration enables development publishing and
    disables production publishing.
  - Enabling publishing requires sweep repair for collections already waiting.

# Gate posting attention on deployment readiness

## Context

The recorded deployment-order direction prevents Accounting from depending unconditionally on Platform attention resources before they exist in the environment.

## Decision

The decision field restates the existing recorded direction for this design boundary. This examination does not grant a new approval.

## Alternatives Considered

The alternatives above identify the competing implementation choices and their consequences. They preserve the distinction between a recorded product ruling and a proposed engineering boundary.

## Consequences

The consequence rows describe obligations and known implementation limits at this boundary. Related artifact references retain the affected design homes.
