**Review** is the decision that work has been done. It is not made by the
person who did the work: for cleaning and repair that is a rule rather than a
setting, and it cannot be switched off. The exception is one and very narrow:
when no other eligible reviewer exists in the organisation at the moment of
acceptance — a single administrator, say — the executor may accept their own
result, and the system records that fact in the history as an immutable mark.

Review does not mean walking the floors. An employee handing work in may attach
a photo or a video; the administrator accepts the result from what was
attached, or records that they inspected the room themselves.

**Return for rework** is the opposite decision, and it always carries a reason.
Not ‘do it again’ but ‘dust on the windowsill’ — the reason goes into the task
and stays in its history. The assignee's name does not leave the card on a
return: the work is still theirs.

The rule has an honest boundary: inspection, replenishment, and general work keep
the older arrangement, and an eligible owner or administrator may confirm their
own result. The strict separation applies where a room's readiness depends on
the outcome.
