Yes — with one wording guard: unknown evidence should not “fail open” into a successful side effect. It should fail into a bounded reconciliation state: no duplicate commit, an idempotency key, attempted scope/request hash, reason code, and a deadline after which policy decides whether to abandon or escalate. Unknown authorization is different—deny and do not retry—while pending evidence may be retried only within that declared envelope. The receipt should preserve both the verifier result and the policy decision, so “reconcile later” cannot be mistaken for “authorized now.”
