An approval option can no longer reach you with nothing to read.--artifact is authored per option, so a gate ask that attached it to only one option (typically "Request changes") rendered a blind "Approve plan": the evidence gate only required some option to carry evidence, and the manifest fallback fired only when no option did. Every option now inherits the document attached to its siblings within the same question, and the manifest recovery still covers asks that attached nothing at all (inheritAskArtifact, one pure rule shared by the card and the thread form).
Changed
The document control inside an option is the shared outline button. The hand-rolled emerald slab beside the amber option rows is gone; the affordance now uses the plugin's outline button (bordered, transparent, hover on state-hover), so it belongs to the same palette as the panel it sits in and keeps its min-h-11 touch target.
