Note row SMP-2026-0729-017: its STOCK button is disabled because cost_basis = 'unknown'. Promoting an uncosted unit into sellable stock is how i2 valued 503k ledger rows at zero. R-11.24 refuses it at the boundary rather than in a report afterwards.

Textile Partners is the only supplier whose median exceeds the SLA. Its single sample this year is also the only write-off on the page.

This is the number that decides whether to keep buying samples from a supplier at all, and it is only computable because hours_to_decide and the outcome are frozen on the classification row.

An SLA expiry escalates. It does not classify.

v2 shipped two contradictory automatic destinations for the same expiry. samples.html and samples-detail.html both say a breached sample auto-falls-back to STOCK, and the detail page's own warning row admits it "will bypass manual QC". i2's schema disagrees: samples.state allows auto_pool, not auto-stock. Two specifications, two destinations, one clock.

i3 does neither. A breached sample stays in SAMPLE_QC, writes a sample_sla_events row, raises an alert, and becomes gate-blocking. It is not sellable, it is not written off, and it is not forgotten.

The general rule is ruling L19 with the subject swapped: L19 makes a carrier status string structurally incapable of crediting sellable stock; here a timer is made structurally incapable of it. ck_phe_no_robot_writeoff forbids a system actor from the ownership-changing verbs, so this is a constraint, not a convention.

SLA extensions

SMP-2026-0718-002	72h	120h	a.yousuf	Supplier disputing the defect finding

v2 had a bare "Extend SLA 24h" button. ck_sr_ext refuses an extension without both an extender and a reason, so an extension is a decision on the record rather than a way to make a breach disappear.

Where a sample comes from

Module 06 posts it. A GRN line of kind='sample' posts +qty SAMPLE_QC, not RECEIVED_NOT_INVOICED and not STOCK, and the clock starts at counted_at. This module owns everything after that instant and nothing before it.

Origin is either a PO line, a PI, or a production run with no PO at all, which is why sample_receipts carries production_run_ref as well as po_id. Ruling L15: a PO line does not always carry a SKU, and a sample often arrives before the SKU is named.
