CAIN-42 CAIN StudioFAQ
Does fail-closed mean more outages?
It means a broken check is visible. The blocked decision names the stage that could not answer, so a retry can succeed once it is back; advisory stages degrade instead of blocking.
Why did the safe read need approval?
The demo tenant is brand new, so the trust stage has no history. Unknown trust is held for a human. A principal with an established record is evaluated on that record.
Can consensus or an approval turn a block into an allow?
No. Consensus notarizes; approvals release holds, not denials.
