We surfaced "blockers" (a dead lead, an API limit, a failing email
record) and reported them as the reason we couldn't ship.
Every one was false on inspection — the limit didn't exist, the record was
already passing. We wasted cycles on imaginary walls.
No blocker gets written down until a re-runnable check proves it (`dig`,
`curl`, a DB count). An unverified blocker is a fabrication.
Before you say "I can't because X," produce the one command that proves X.
