Error message
message
What it means
Placeholder/generic Error raised with a literal 'message' string — an unresolved message field, not a real diagnostic. In the same code path, sibling guards throw 'Main spec <id> changed while archive was awaiting confirmation' when the rebuilt spec's counts or outcome no longer match the prepared proposal, meaning the main spec changed during confirmation.
Solutions
- Follow the underlying consistency message (spec/delta/metadata changed) and rerun
- Ensure the change and specs are stable, then re-run the archive
Defensive patterns
Strategy: try-catch
