alternates:
  - from_step: 1
    condition: Finalization failed without committed recognition.
    path: The failure releases the month and retry is refused.
    outcome: Staff can submit a new close after resolving the cause.

      services-accounting:modules/fiscal-close/tests/integration/services/jobs/close-job.integration.spec.js#fails
      the run on finalize, not retryable, saying the period was given back
      (DEF-ACT-0819)
  - from_step: 3
    condition: Cancellation is still eligible before recognition or reversal.
    path: The controller cancels the queued or failed request.
    outcome: The period is released and the cancellation remains in history.

failures:
  - from_step: 3
    condition: The confirmation promises reversal of finished work.
    path: >-
      The controller confirms, but the service rejects cancellation after
      recognition.
    outcome: The refusal supplies recovery guidance after the misleading confirmation.

# A controller recovers an interrupted close

## Story

The controller reviews a failed run that still protects its month. Cancellation after recognized revenue is refused, so they resolve the cause and resume execution. The same run remains available across browser refresh. The product should explain the permitted recovery before confirmation rather than promising reversal that cancellation cannot perform.
