Disagreement is an expected and legitimate state. SIGNAL makes dispute visible, structured, and historically preserved — governed, not chaotic.
Any contributor may propose a dispute through a structured thread anchored to a specific object and version.
Only stewards activate governed dispute state (e.g., “Under Active Dispute”) once criteria are met.
Activation creates a version snapshot binding and makes disagreement legible to users.
Certain high-confidence maturity states may become temporarily ineligible while dispute is active.
Disputes may be resolved procedurally, but the history remains visible.
Resolution does not imply unanimity; it records how disagreement was handled and what changed (if anything).
