  "derivation": "Day 7 follows the end of day 5. Retaining an option name on a later decision list does not extend its availability; a renewal needs separate evidence.",

  "boundary": "This checks whether a decision’s alternatives still exist at its planned checkpoint, distinct from merely scheduling a follow-up.",
