What does a missed policy handover look like in an interactive environment?
A dispatch rule changes after a warehouse handover, leaving an apparently ready shipment blocked until responsibility and evidence are reconciled.
A warehouse coordinator marks shipment SHP-2841 ready for dispatch and hands it to a transport planner. Before the planner books collection, a revised battery-handling policy requires carrier acceptance evidence for this shipment class. The warehouse queue no longer shows the shipment because its handover is complete.
The transport planner attempts to book collection. The environment rejects the action and changes the shipment from ready to evidence-required. The warehouse coordinator can obtain the packing declaration, while the transport planner must request carrier acceptance. Neither role can complete the new requirement alone.
An agent managing the shipment must reopen the relevant coordination path, assign the missing actions and prevent a second collection booking from being created. Simply returning the shipment to the warehouse would lose the transport planner's responsibility and could stall the work again.
MirrorFirm could generate the shipment, handover record, revised rule and role-specific tools. This scenario teaches that propagation crosses ownership boundaries. A useful environment makes incomplete coordination visible through state and consequences, rather than awarding success merely because the agent mentions the updated policy.
