client_decision_gated

  ✗ A rules row reserves a decision to the client, and the step isn't an ask to the client, or a guard ahead of it refuses what the client would decide. Make the step an ask to the client party, and turn the guard into a signal: the client sees every offer. choose is the client's decision alone under rules 2026-10, and choose is done by ai: make it an ask to client.
