Closure notes that end the elevation

Handwriting in a notebook

“Done” is not a closure note. Auditors and Monday leads need to see the grant identifier, the timestamp of revocation inside Crypto Vault Access Tracker, and confirmation that residual sessions were checked.

Use a short template: reason for elevation → work completed → revocation evidence → residual check → who verified. If any line is missing, the elevation is still narratively open even if the UI looks idle.

Mild confession from the classroom

Learners often overwrite closure notes with status emojis. We ban that in peer review. Words beat glyphs when the reader is tired. Practice this in module 5 of Vault Desk Essentials.
