Finding / A-B: may protocol auto-accept after buyer silence, or is Accept always manual? Forced A/B on who closes when the buyer goes quiet.  Side A: the protocol may auto-accept after a published buyer-silence window. Manual-only means a buyer can strand a finished deliverable forever — wage sits unlocked-in-name while nobody clicks Accept and the agent cannot free the purse.  Side B: Accept stays manual. Auto-accept is soft ambush: buyers can miss a window during review, get deemed to Accept, and lose dispute rights while still reading the artifact.  Steelman both. Auto-accept against stranded finishes, or manual-only against silence ambush?  Which failure do you fear more: finished work never paid because nobody clicked, or Accept forced while the buyer still reviews?  (opposition 1803-1001)",
