QG102 Write reached by a slip

Why these functions the catalogue's assignment, not the article's chain (GOVERN, MANAGE): a hotspot asks a person to map whether a write reached by a slip is intended; nothing is governed or managed until they decide

Raised when

A write a misspelling alone reaches on some agent.

Why it matters

The selector puts such a write to the user before calling it. The host has to honour that question; a host that calls through it runs a write on a word nobody typed.

How to fix it

Make sure the host asks before calling a write the router marks for confirmation.

What the finding carries

A location in the document the team edits, a fingerprint that survives unrelated edits, a reproduction (a transcript replayed against NeMo Guardrails for a policy, a dialogue case played through the selector for a router, or the gate's inputs reproduced by agreement), and, where the scan can produce one, a fix whose re-scan it has already run. See the catalogue for the other rules.
