+- **Status:** Accepted — ratified by Joshua Shay 2026-07-27. **This ADR changes
+  served output.** It fixes a truth defect on a serving path; it flips no flag
+  and changes no default. Implemented and merged to `main` in the same unit
+  that proposed it, because the defect it removes was live behind a shipped
+  flag rather than latent.
