# Record a Finding Decision
A finding no verification ever ruled on stays open forever — the status
has no other verdict for it, however deliberately the maintainer decided
to live with it. The decision is real, it is just homeless: it was taken
between runs, and the only artifacts that could carry it are past
evidence that must never be rewritten. This skill gives it a committed
home of its own, next to the reports and never inside them.
## The ledger
Path: `<repo-root>/.odd/decisions.md`, committed. Created on first
decision with this exact skeleton:
```markdown
# ODD finding decisions
Decisions the maintainer took on findings recorded in
`.odd/observe-run-reports/` — the committed memory that lets
`/odd-status` stop rendering a declined finding as open. Rows are
appended, never rewritten; a later row for the same finding supersedes
the earlier one. Reports themselves are never edited — this ledger is
the only place a decision lives.
| Date | Finding | Verdict | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
```
One row per decision:
```markdown
| 2026-08-28 | 2026-08-26-1003-config-set-env-preservation.md / F4 | wontfix | Port-move is rare; ~14.5 s accepted |
```
- `Date` — the decision's UTC date, `YYYY-MM-DD`.
- `Finding` — `<exact report filename> / <finding ID as the report's
ranked-findings table names it>`. The exact filename disambiguates
finding IDs, which are report-local (two reports can both have an
"F4").
- `Verdict` — `wontfix` today; the column is free-form so
