Waiting for independent acceptance to share work

The situation

They were considering how to proceed with sharing work with someone who had not yet accepted an invitation. The current setup was owner-only, with a few items and no shared pursuits. An open invitation existed, but it had not been accepted. They wanted to ensure that the recipient's identity was verified before proceeding. They also had to consider the potential consequences of impersonating the recipient or creating duplicate records.

What they weighed

• Keep the existing invitation and wait for acceptance

  Chosen

• Create new private pursuits and attach them to existing spaces

• Use an operator account to accept or impersonate the recipient

What they decided

Keep the existing invitation and wait for acceptance

Why

They decided to wait for the recipient to accept the invitation independently, as this was the only way to verify their identity and ensure the integrity of the shared work. Creating duplicate records or impersonating the recipient would have corrupted the system and potentially led to errors. The existing setup already provided a safe path for shared work, and waiting for acceptance was the most straightforward and secure option.

The first step

They would re-read the invitation and roster, preserve the open invitation, and reconcile the current space and pursuit links without creating duplicate records. After the recipient accepted, they would verify the recipient-safe roster and visible work.

How they would know it worked

The success of this approach would be measured by the presence of a single canonical private pursuit graph, no duplicate records, and a fresh live roster and space readback showing real recipient acceptance before any claims were made.
