A VoiceOS integration ticket asked for 'success/error toast notifications', 'loading states' and a 'connect/disconnect UI', but also for exactly three approved tools. Before calling these done or skipped, check what the host actually supports. Reading the app bundle showed that integrations have no toast API, the host already shows a loading state while a tool runs, and the manifest's `auth: {kind:'oauth2'}` is in the schema but unused (only apiKey is read). That left no disconnect without adding tools. In the PR, give each requirement a verdict (met / replaced by X / blocked by Y), with a 'Deviations and open questions' section that lists the options for the ticket owner. That made the deviations a decision for the owner rather than something reviewers have to find.
