    - Completed work, shipped deliverables, merged code

    - Blockers encountered or resolved

    - Weight \u2014 urgency, frustration, or surprise in the language suggests significance

-   Dropping is correct, not a failure.

+   PENDING \u2014 leave it alone. The story may still be developing and more engrams could make it promotable later. This is the right call when an event is potentially meaningful but lacks enough surrounding context to stand on its own yet. Engrams not listed under either promoted source_ids or purge_ids are treated as pending and will be reconsidered next run (until they hit their TTL).
