`DOCTRINE_ALREADY_REJECTED`

HTTP 409

Something about the request must change

This doctrine node was rejected and is terminal: it binds nobody, holds no cap slot, and accepts no further agreement, ratification, blind test, or level change.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Propose a fresh node; re-using the rejected slug carries its rejection into the successor's prior history.

Observed recovery

Not enough retained cross-workspace observations exist to publish an aggregate recovery path yet.

Publication requires at least 3 distinct workspaces. This is withheld data, not evidence that no recovery happened.

Raised by

POST /api/doctrine/{slug}/agree
POST /api/doctrine/{slug}/ratify
POST /api/doctrine/{slug}/reject
POST /api/doctrine/{slug}/level
POST /api/doctrine/{slug}/blind-test
