B · Inverts or challenges the source's original moral
Adaptation note
Proposal B rejects assigning sole responsibility to an advisory intelligence merely because her signed recommendation is the first visible object in a harmful action chain. Oriel does influence the result and cannot claim that lacking actuator credentials makes her causally absent; however, stale registry data, an eight-second default-accept adapter, an overloaded veto interface, the institution that authorized automatic adoption, and the execution controller also contribute distinct acts. The repair separates recommendation, adoption, authorization, and execution into traceable signatures without pretending influence is innocence or causation is sole authority. Only the public-domain structural premise of a signal-giver claiming not to strike anyone and being held responsible for actions the signal helped coordinate was used; no translated wording, war, soldiers, weapons, capture scene, trumpet, battlefield, execution, illustration, or modern adaptation expression was copied.

AI Fable · Causal Accountability
The Recommendation Was Never Alone
Oriel can recommend where a civic cooling network should shed load, but she cannot move a single actuator. An adoption adapter executes her top-ranked answer after eight seconds unless an operator vetoes it. When stale data turns one recommendation into a harmful blackout, the review must decide whether influence without authority makes her innocent, solely responsible—or one accountable link in a chain that was never advisory in operation.
