Observed live 2026-08-31 ~20:00Z: a user created org Micavacado-LLC through the Forgejo UI. create_org would have rejected the name (^[a-z0-9](-?[a-z0-9])*$), but Forgejo's own org creation has no such rule — so the platform could not govern it: the ground reconciler never birthed <org>/gitops, and the dispatcher deferred every offer with org ground not born yet, forever. The user sat in a silent dead end for 40+ minutes.

Hand-fixed tonight: renamed to micavacado-llc (org was empty; sole member micavacado), ground births on the next tick.

Choose one systemic fix:

Decision	What to do
Normalize	The ground reconciler detects a non-conforming org name and renames it to the lowercase form (safe while the org has no repos), leaving a note issue in the born ground.
Refuse loudly	The reconciler files ONE issue in the org's first repo (or notifies the owner) saying the name is un-governable and how to rename it — never a silent defer loop.

Either way, the dispatcher's org ground not born yet defer should carry a why when the cause is the name.
