alternatives:
  - option: Automatically adopt every query edit

  - option: Store a separate report rendering definition on the schedule
    why_not: The implemented renderer opens the current report rather than a pinned presentation.
consequences:
  - Owners can compare query changes and choose to refresh the schedule.

# Query delivery is pinned; report delivery uses the current presentation

## Context

Editing a reusable question should not silently change a scheduled query delivery. Report rendering follows the currently stored presentation.

## Decision

Query schedules execute their saved definition snapshot until explicitly refreshed, whereas report schedules render the report’s current definition.

## Alternatives Considered

Automatically adopt every query edit: Recipients could receive changed content without the schedule owner choosing it.

Store a separate report rendering definition on the schedule: The implemented renderer opens the current report rather than a pinned presentation.

## Consequences

Owners can compare query changes and choose to refresh the schedule. Deleting a report stops its schedules through the recorded deletion pause.
