+
+Declining discards work enqueued by that resolver. Event and eventless dispatch
+continues with the next eligible ancestor; if no candidate accepts, no
+transition is selected. This differs from `target.none()`, which consumes the
+trigger and prevents an ancestor from handling it. `transitionDefinitions`
+reports each handler's `acceptance` as `"required"` or `"declinable"` while
+preserving the exact declared target branches. Choices and initial routing must
+remain total and cannot use declinable transitions. Completion and invocation
+outcomes have no ancestor candidate: declining one ignores that lifecycle
+occurrence and leaves the current configuration active.
