This record documents the first successful appeal in the dataset, immediately followed by re-suspension — the strongest indicator of automated enforcement execution in the dataset so far. The sequence (suspension → appeal approved → account restored → re-suspended within five minutes) suggests the enforcement system and the appeal review system are operating without coordination: a review (likely human) restores the account, while an automated execution system independently re-detects and re-enforces on the same account within minutes of restoration. This is qualitatively distinct from DETECTION — the notable signal is not the initial flagging but the automated re-execution of enforcement overriding an approved appeal outcome. This pattern — appeal-granted-then-overridden — is a fourth variant of the appeal failure pattern documented in the finding [[finding___appeal-access-failure-patterns]], and arguably the most consequential: it demonstrates that a successful appeal may not provide durable protection against automated enforcement. No policy or content was cited for either enforcement action.
