Separate weekly settings from settled economics

Review active program notices, product eligibility, thresholds, regions, and fulfillment settings weekly, but reconcile contribution only after completed checkout and Finance lines mature.

Record source deadlines, owners, exceptions, and changed effective dates without repeatedly rewriting an accepted packet.

Exercise restoration before authority is needed

Maintain a protected prior packet, stop rule, independent reviewer, and tested restoration record.

Ready remains analysis only. A human with current Seller Center context must separately authorize any program, threshold, product, price, fulfillment, or customer-impacting action.
