Context

How this test fits the glossary entry

Category: System states & architectures

“Restored” means the person is actually back to the prior state across downstream systems, not just locally unblocked. Restoration completeness ensures time-to-restore includes reconciliation with dependencies.

D. System states & architectures. Operational postures that determine how harm is absorbed—or amplified.
