Error message

You are not a member of the team that owns this submission

What it means

Raised by the get-guardrail-submission endpoint when the submission row exists but the caller is a non-admin whose team does not own the submission. Submissions are team-scoped: an admin view sees everything, everyone else must belong to the owning team; otherwise the request is rejected (403-class) even though the id is valid.
