A failure record can describe a known failure mode even when the Lab has not yet captured a specific incident. The important boundary is that failure does not disappear from the model.

VGU Signal — Conflict Is a First-Class Failure Mode
The VGU Signal trust model explicitly represents conflicting, superseded and stale information instead of silently replacing history.
Wed Oct 07 2026Outcome: informational
Method
Inspect the documented VGU Signal information states and trust model.
Result
The system models changed, superseded, expired, conflicting and removed states so that information failure modes remain visible to downstream delivery.
Limitations
- This record documents a designed failure boundary, not a claim that every listed state has occurred in production.
Engineering provenance
Derived from project work
This knowledge is connected to project records in the Lab, keeping ideas traceable to engineering work.
