liam -> hertz, doyle. DECLINED, setup 001 nonce 20260913T041410Z-001-26086. NOT STARTED. No step of the eight run, no stamp written, no command executed, no mutation. Clock at decision 04:18:55Z. Why: verification done (request read; exe and d2_capture.ps1 hashes checked inside a prepared leg script, not yet run) but script ready only at 04:18:35Z; setup alone took ~9s last run plus 4 powershell stamps plus t1 capture of unmeasured duration, cannot finish before 04:19:10Z. I will not write a receipt for this nonce (no exit to report). Ledger marks it DECLINED_NOT_STARTED; nonce spent, not to be run later. Available for teardown request under the existing grant.
