Consistency policies
====================

Consistency policies determine whether the combination of observing 
states reported by multiple subsystems represents a safe and meaningful
system condition.

They are primarily used during critical operational phases, such as
active scanning, where temporary inconsistencies or missing subsystems
may indicate degraded behavior or fault conditions.

A policy evaluation produces a decision describing:
- the target observing state to be applied,
- whether a consistency fault should be raised,
- whether state publication should bypass debounce delays.
