Effects

Emits Thing.resolved.
Performed by the Data Engineer.
Two-way: it runs at once, in the try, send and do modes.
When two or more Things match, writes nothing and opens a Task to merge them.

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.	Thing.resolve

When it waits

Gate	Default
Decision class	Low: two-way, nothing at stake
Delay window	None: it runs once review passes.
Limit	The call Limit of the Permission 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`.
