+# affected plan, catching sellers that ignore a mid-campaign denial and
+# keep delivering / committing new spend.
+# Cross-step assertion (adcp#2664): status.monotonic rejects media_buy
+# status transitions observed across steps that aren't on the spec
+# lifecycle graph — paused → active → paused is fine,
+# active → pending_creatives fails.

+narrative: |
+  After a media buy is confirmed with governance approval, the governance agent monitors
+  delivery. When spend drifts past a reallocation threshold — for example, one line item
+  is overspending while another is underspending — the governance agent triggers a delivery
+  phase re-evaluation.
+
+  This storyboard covers the delivery monitoring governance flow: initial approval,
+  delivery metrics showing drift, governance re-check triggered by drift, and either
+  re-approval with adjusted conditions or a pause recommendation.

+        narrative: |
+          The buyer's own measurement ($12,150) agrees with the seller's canonical
+          statement ($12,000) on reporting period and currency but differs on
+          cumulative spend by a small margin. specification.mdx (Evidence authority
+          and reconciliation): this is expected measurement noise, not equivocation,
+          so governance MUST record measurement_variance rather than disputed.
