Fail closed when a dependency is down
When Coroid Expo's moderation model was unavailable, feature requests and questions to its persona went through with only a word filter in front of them. Coroid made both fail closed, with tests, and Quality Control sent the first round back before any pull request existed.

What was asked
When moderation cannot judge a feature request, hold it and retry it later. When it cannot judge a persona question, have the persona decline politely. Keep local development without a moderation model unchanged, and update the threat model.
What happened on the way
Quality Control sent the first round back: anti-slop found a new runtime import cycle between two API modules. The developer agent removed it, and QA verified every planned criterion with fresh executable evidence.
The outcome
Merged. A feature request moderation cannot judge is held, not sent, and retried later; a persona question gets a polite try-again without reaching the persona model; nothing changes without a moderation model; and the threat model is updated.
