/**
 * Adjudicating a whole issue at once.
 *
 * A ruling is about the root cause, and the root cause is the issue: ruling
 * one fingerprint by-design while its twelve siblings stay open leaves the
 * issue reopening forever, which is how a chrome defect across many routes,
 * form factors and schemes could never settle. The fan-out applies the same
 * per-finding transition the CLI has always offered, so nothing about a
 * finding's own record changes shape; what is new is the durable half on the
 * issue itself, which is what lets a sibling that does not exist yet arrive
 * already ruled.
