Opening decision groups…
Set the group once, keep the exceptions, and show exactly what changes. A connected builder manages the limits. Without one, the homeowner does.
Opening decision groups…
Changing a group preserves its individual exceptions. Search narrows groups; it does not silently narrow the decisions inside them.
Cabinets and storage stays builder controlled. Cabinet hardware has an explicit homeowner exception.
Homeowner can choose · Individual exception
Recorded · Preserved
Keep this exception, even if the group later opens.
Returning to the group setting is an explicit reviewed change.
Cabinets and storage is selected. Review its complete accepted membership.
Homeowner can choose
Individual exceptions stay
Search narrows shown groups. Selecting a group includes all its accepted decisions.
No room-only scope rewrite. Build type never sets availability.
Cabinet hardware already has a homeowner selection. Restricting it requires a decision.
Preserve the choice and add an explicit homeowner exception.
Preserve the selection and flag its restriction for review.
Each disposition is followed by a fresh final affected list. Nothing applies here.
The affected list reflects your dispositions. Selections and specifications stay recorded.
Cabinets and storage; Countertops, flooring and tile → Homeowner can choose
Cabinet hardware stays explicitly open
Review every affected decision and acknowledge this final list.
The final preview is tied to current authority, group membership and recorded choices.
Another builder saved a change while you were reviewing. Your preview was not applied.
The accepted settings and choices remain.
Read the current affected list and review again.
Connection, assignment or choice changes also invalidate a preview. Never force an old preview.
The homeowner’s selection is recorded. Future changes are restricted until you open this decision.
The existing selection stays on record.
Keep this selection to acknowledge it. To replace it, open a separate correction.
Only the current controlling actor resolves this flag. A connected owner can read it.
Closet system tier is proposed for Cabinets and storage. It has not inherited that group’s restriction.
Homeowner can choose
Builder controls · No effect until accepted
Any choice recorded while review is pending stays and is included in acceptance review.
Proposed moves retain the accepted group and exceptions. Unclassified decisions remain visible with individual controls; contract structure stays outside bulk restriction.
Dave controls this decision. You can share what you were told.
Not recorded
“The builder told us the cabinet fronts will be oak.”
Conversation with Dave · No document attached
This is your report. Dave has not recorded it as the specification.
Reports do not fill canonical answers or completion. A corrected report needs separate adoption; an earlier adopted report keeps its original resolution link.
Check the report and the existing specification before recording.
“The builder told us the cabinet fronts will be oak.” Source: conversation with Dave.
Painted cabinet fronts · Recorded earlier by Dave
Oak cabinet fronts · From Sam’s report
The earlier specification stays in the history. Sam remains named as the source of this report.
A report naming an option adopts that same option. A different assertion needs a new report. A superseded resolution is never labeled current.

Reading the decision groups for The Hollis House…
A loading state is distinct from empty data. Do not infer open groups, a restriction or an empty project. No animated spinner or shimmer.
We could not load these settings. Open them again when you have a connection.
Read the current settings when the connection is available.
No false empty state. Loading failure never transfers control. Existing project navigation remains available.

The current list will appear when it can be read.
Review an undo before applying it. Your earlier changes stay in the history.
A still-authorized reader can retrieve their own accepted result after losing management. Removed readers cannot retrieve it. Replay never writes again.
Dave manages availability. Open decisions remain yours to choose.
Homeowner can choose · Individual exception
Builder controls · Specification not recorded
Submit an unconfirmed specification report or a question; reporting does not settle the decision.
A connected homeowner cannot canonically record, reopen, replace, change mode or mutate answers to bypass a restriction.
The owner can set groups and exceptions. Viewer seats remain read-only.
A restriction Sam enters is homeowner-reported, not builder-confirmed.
Record what your builder specified, with you named as the person who recorded it.
Open the decision for homeowner choice, then choose your preferred option.
Existing projects remain available until explicitly restricted. Initial defaults are an editable proposal, not an onboarding gate.

Set the groups and keep individual exceptions.
Recorded selections stay in the project binder.

Your acknowledgment records that you reviewed them. Sam’s earlier record stays.
