Preserve the evidence
This exception begins when two queue items share a case reference. Preserve evidence, pause unsupported action, and give the case operations owner a decision-ready record.
Record the source, exact words, timestamps, identifiers, queue state, and open question. Keep inherited values separate from new statements.
State the boundary
The caller cannot approve, interpret, merge, suppress, disclose, or promise beyond the released workflow. State that boundary directly.
Route one question
Create one handoff naming the unresolved question, current state, case operations owner, and a policy-supported response target.
Reconcile the record
Before shift close, reconcile the note, restrictions, and queue. If they disagree, pause the record and identify the system needing review.
Copy-ready words
Scripts your caller can adapt
"I recorded what you told me and where it differs from the provided information."
"I cannot approve that change, but I can route the exact question."
"I will send the evidence to the case operations owner."

Review the control
Quality review should sample ordinary cases and exceptions. Check whether source, boundary, owner, and disposition can be reconstructed.
This is operational guidance, not legal advice. The client owns policy, permissions, jurisdiction review, and the final decision.
