Research direction

Find the refusal message for the mark-uncertain action in the casework lifecycle-audit code. Update its wording to be distinct from 'settled'. Then locate the TypeScript type AttemptUncertainHistoryEntry and add the missing operator keys (who decided and why). Check the Python and Rust equivalents for the same type and update them if needed. Run any existing tests for these types to ensure they still compile and describe the payload accurately.

Description

area:casework bug

Two small follow-ups to the Casework operator command that marks an expired pending attempt uncertain (lifecycle-audit changes, not yet merged):

  1. The refusal shared with settle says "the work item is X; only a work item awaiting its source outcome can be settled". For mark-uncertain, "settled" is the wrong verb. Give each action its own wording.
  2. The TypeScript AttemptUncertainHistoryEntry detail type does not list the new operator keys (who decided and why). Its generic JSON object type tolerates them, so nothing breaks, but the published type under-describes the payload. Update the type and the Python and Rust equivalents if they have the same gap.
