    Start([Trigger]) --> S1[Apply policy-core logic]

    D -->|Stop| EndErr([Return error or empty result])

```

## Failure and edge-case behavior
- Error, warning, and empty-result behavior follows the rules and SQL cited in the steps above.
- Stored-procedure-backed paths depend on Oracle-side logic outside this repository.**
