OPS.6:5.3 - AI-assisted user issue

An admitted user issue encounters a changed trace, tool result, provider condition, model input, candidate change, or harness state. The operation refreshes evidence and applies the software domain Method and current established authority. It distinguishes the human or other deciding System, the responsible performer, agent episode, tool invocation, candidate change, test evidence, issue record, and release decision.

The continuation contract may authorize one bounded diagnostic, test, or repair Work with context and tool limits, stop, fallback, evidence expectation, and human return. Report issue or candidate progression only after performance evidence supports it. A successful episode, green local test, visible trace, automated loop, or generated patch does not by itself establish issue progression, an integrated change, software assurance, a security result, or release permission.
