The manual is clear: every hold needs a rationale, timestamp, approver, and review marker. The system does not erase fear; it asks someone senior to explain why fear should wait, why the first warning can sit in amber while the world keeps moving, why liquidity can stay still while positions breathe. That explanation is the paper trail. Not gossip, not intuition: a chain of accountable sentences that can be forwarded, attached, defended in daylight. You read the template until the words stop meaning language and start meaning behaviour. You imagine Isabella typing the rationale the way she might tighten a tie, small motions, large impression. You realise, unpleasantly, that you are learning her ethics well enough to counterfeit them. [[Audit Trail Preview|Preview the audit trail]]
