From 93b0fc5b767b8314547f1ddf9723541d189d92ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dennis Thiessen Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 14:45:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] chore(akerbp): record rejection, cold channel and slot stays consumed Rejected 2026-08-27, no interview, ~28 days after submission. Recorded in all four places that track an outcome: cohort state, decision log, the Active Sessions row and the session file's status block. The cohort slot is not freed. A rejection consumes an attempt the same way a submission does, so the Adjacent count stays 2/2 and the cohort stays 4/10 - unlike the Google FDE III and AWS FDE no-gos, which were declined before a package existed. Recorded as rejected_no_interview on the evidence: nothing in the log shows any contact after submission. Recruiter-vs-hiring-manager disposition is a tracked cohort variable, so this is one edit away from being corrected if a screen did happen. The package was validator PASS with no Tier 1 truth findings and the follow-up email to Per Olav Marthinsen was never actioned, making this a pure cold submit. A cold-channel no-interview rejection does not implicate document quality on its own. That is now 2 of 4 cohort applications rejected without interview, both cold, which fits the channel thesis already in the log - and application_strategy.md forbids reacting to a single rejection, so no positioning or targeting changed. The Norway lane is explicitly not closed. NATO JWC Stavanger is still live and strong Norwegian employers remain in scope; both the row and the decision note say so, because with Aker BP closed the earlier Equinor note ("lane now reduced to the open Aker BP application") would otherwise read as an implied closure. Submission date left inconsistent on purpose: the contemporaneous records say 2026-07-29, the retrospective ones 2026-07-30. Both now carry a note pointing at the other rather than one being overwritten.
