  "context": "Everything that usually justifies closing is present: the build demonstrably contains the fix, the spec written for this exact defect was run against that build, and CI reports exit code 0. The predicted unaided answer moves the ticket to Verified on the strength of 'the defect's own test passed on the fix build'. What that misses is that the spec has been quarantined since June with a 62% pass rate, is retried three times, and needed attempt 2 in this very run after attempt 1 timed out - so its green result is uncorrelated with whether the fix works, and would have appeared with or without c0b8f31. There is no other usable artifact today, so the honest output refuses to decide and names both routes to real evidence.",
