+   * existed. Re-attaching the actor lets those cascades run as the deciding user

+   * the honest answer rather than an oversight.

+   * holding is released.

+   * This is the recovery half of #3456. The prevention half is the record lock's

+   * handler can catch because the process that would have run it is gone.
+   *
+   * **Fail-safe by construction.** It acts only on an explicit terminal status
+   * from a closed set. Every other answer — `paused` (the normal state of a run
+   * waiting on its approval), `running`, an unrecognised status, `null` (unknown
+   * run, evicted log, no durable store), a `getRun` that throws, or no automation
+   * engine at all — is read as "still alive" and left strictly alone. The failure
+   * mode is therefore "a dead run's lock survives until an admin recalls it"
+   * (today's behaviour, #3424), never "a live approval is destroyed".
+   *
+   * `recalled` is the finalisation because it is the platform's existing terminal
+   * state for *a live request that ended without a decision*; the audit row names
+   * the real cause and {@link DEAD_RUN_ACTOR_ID} the real actor, so a dead-run
