# Maintain Withheld Governance Attention Definitions

## What It Does

Record writes reevaluate attention, and scheduled sweeps consider registered definitions. Minutes awaiting approval, overdue disclosures and nominations to review are intentionally excluded from publication and sweeping. Restoring them requires the recorded product decision to change and their responsibility registration to be ready.

## The Flow

```mermaid

  H1["Reevaluate the applicable governance attention condition during a record write."]

  H2["Publish only when global publishing is enabled and the definition is registered"]
  H3["Select only registered definitions during sweeping."]
  H1 --> H2
  H2 --> H3
```

Reevaluate the applicable governance attention condition during a record write. Publish only when global publishing is enabled and the definition is registered; these three definitions are withheld. Select only registered definitions during sweeping.

## When Something Fails

Abort the business transaction if an attention error propagates. No committed partial write. Perform no publication for withheld definitions. No attention item is promised. Skip the three withheld governance definitions. No scheduled refresh for these lines.

## Open Design Questions

Minutes awaiting approval, overdue disclosures and nominations to review are intentionally excluded from publication and sweeping. Restoring them requires the recorded product decision to change and their responsibility registration to be ready.
