<p>You do not take anyone&#39;s word that an issue is closed. In BidLight an issue can only close with proof attached: a screenshot, a tagged user, and the model commit that fixed it. Your job is to check that proof, not to trust the status.</p> <ol><li>Open the issue in the project view. Every issue is pinned to the element it concerns, so you land on the exact element, not a description of it.</li><li>Check the screenshot against the current model state. Does the element match what the comment claims?</li><li>Check the tagged user. A named owner closed it, not an anonymous status change.</li><li>Check the model commit. It ties the close to the version that fixed it, so you can see it was fixed in the model and not just marked done.</li><li>Compare versions element by element if the fix touched other geometry. What changed shows up in about 15 minutes, not a 90-minute meeting.</li></ol> <p>Anything without that proof stays open. A clash resolved in the model costs about $50. The same clash found in the field runs $5,000 to $50,000, and an unresolved one can burn $15K to $50K a week in idle field labour. Proof before acceptance is where that money gets protected.</p>
