OPS.8.1:9 - Consequences

The release rule can exploit available capacity while retaining the demand that may return. Its price is the information and coordination needed to distinguish the relevant events and resource contributions. A small deterministic comparison may suffice; larger operations can need the capacity and scheduling constructions.

Some conflicts remain real. Protecting an earlier correction can delay new work, and waiting for information can itself make the earlier result unattainable. The method exposes those choices for the responsible operating decision.
