Given
a {subject: "superseded decision"} names the probe decision through {relation: "decidedBy"}
the probe decision is replaced by {replacement: "one decision"}
every replacing decision states {replacementRung: "ready"}When
the graph is validated
Then
the report holds {warnings: 0} superseded-decision warnings
the warnings name {named: "nothing"}
the report holds {errorCount: 0} errorsComposing needs the script.
Intent
- Execute the live-subject rule on a decision that is itself superseded.
