 narrative: |
-  measurement_terms negotiation is a round-trip. The buyer proposes a measurement vendor,
-  window, and variance tolerance on each package; the seller either accepts (returning
-  measurement_terms echoed in the response) or rejects with TERMS_REJECTED and a message
-  explaining what is unacceptable. The buyer mints a fresh idempotency_key and retries
-  create_media_buy with the adjusted payload — reusing the prior key against a different
-  body MUST be rejected with IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT per spec.
+  The buyer proposes a measurement vendor, window, and variance tolerance on each
+  package. This universal scenario sends intentionally unworkable terms and verifies
+  that the seller rejects them with TERMS_REJECTED and an explanatory message.
 
-  This scenario sends an intentionally aggressive first proposal (max_variance_percent: 0
-  with a window the seller does not guarantee), verifies the seller rejects with
-  TERMS_REJECTED, then retries with a relaxed proposal that falls inside the seller's
-  stated tolerance and expects a successful create_media_buy.
+  AdCP 3.1 has no capability bit for measurement-term acceptance, so the optional
+  relaxed-terms success arm is deliberately not graded on this maintenance line.
