STR.14:4.5 - Close the reconciliation and name its reconsideration condition

Return what can coexist, what changes, what is displaced, which limits remain and who holds any next required decision. Preserve enough of the comparison for participants to recognize the same configuration.

State the observation that would invalidate a material assumption and ensure it can arrive in time, using STR.12 where needed. Do not keep every independent commitment provisional because one branch awaits a contribution.

Close when the material conflict has a supported bounded resolution or an explicit external blocker. Reopen when timing, performance, capacity, provider conditions, authority or a newly exposed moved burden changes that resolution. The existence of several horizons alone does not require continual architecture work.
