Tiebreaker 2: Never destroy on suspicion

This is a spec: descriptive guidance, not a checkable rule. It carries no forbidden and instead pair, and no jig check detector applies to it directly.

The spec

When the system suspects input is wrong, mark it and hold it. Do not discard it.

Spam scores, validation failures, duplicate detection — all heuristics, all wrong sometimes. Hold the item, record why, let a person decide. Applies equally to the user's typing: never clear a form, drop a draft, or overwrite without a copy.
