Effects

Emits Company.dissolved.
Performed by the Legal Lead.
One-way (money, customer): it waits out its delay window, and runs in the send and do modes.
Runs through Company dissolution.
Waits for the Founder, as an officer, to sign the certificate of dissolution: the legal floor.
Ends the registered agent and every recurring filing.

Refuses when

Check	Error	Fix	Then call
The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation.	`forbidden`	Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them.	Company.dissolve
The record is not in a state that allows this Verb, so the call is refused.	`refused`	Read the record, run the Verb that moves it to an allowed state, then retry.	Company.dissolve

When it waits

Gate	Default
Decision class	High: one-way, broad (money, customer)
Delay window	1 business day, in which a watcher can pause, redirect or cancel it; then it runs.
Limit	The spend Limit of the Permission or Mandate it runs under.
Over the Limit	It waits `pending` for an Approval from the Founder. Approved, it runs; refused, it ends `refused` with `limit-exceeded`; unanswered by its deadline, it ends `canceled`.
