-  enrolled before this feature — reject, or accept until re-enrolment — is a
-  rollout decision with real operational cost, and the spec requires it to be
-  decided and applied consistently rather than pre-empting it here.

 - **FR-006 constrains targeting, not just storage.** Deterministic resolution is
   what actually closes GHSA-j73r; a store nobody consults would satisfy the
   letter of the other requirements and leave the attack open.

+  A: Refuse, but only once the operator enables enforcement for that side, with
