nx_obligation_lib.nx -- POST-SIGNATURE OBLIGATION MANAGEMENT (the DocuSign IAM / Ironclad Jurist class). nx_clm catches the auto-renewal trap BEFORE a term ends. This is the other 95% of a contract's life: the obligations it created. Most contract value leaks after signature, because the executed document goes into a folder and the duties inside it are tracked by memory. u2605THE TOOTH MOST TRACKERS MISS -- THE CURE PERIOD. An obligation past its due date is NOT automatically a breach. Commercial contracts routinely grant a cure window (often 10-30 days after written notice), and during it the counterparty can still perform. A tracker that flags overdue AS breach manufactures disputes that do not exist; one that ignores the cure period entirely misses the moment the right to terminate actually vests. Both are expensive, so OVERDUE and BREACH are separate states here and the cure window sits explicitly between them. u2605THE SECOND TOOTH -- NOTICE STARTS THE CLOCK, NOT THE DUE DATE. A cure period typically runs from written notice of the failure, not from the missed deadline. An obligation that is overdue but where notice was NEVER given has an unexpired (indeed unstarted) cure window, so it cannot be a breach yet. u2605FAIL-CLOSED: an obligation with no due date is OBL_UNKNOWN -- never "satisfied", never "fine". A duty nobody dated is a duty nobody is tracking, which is precisely the failure mode. STRUCTURE: pure decision core, zero I/O, per [[feedback-pure-core-not-hostage-to-storage-2026-07-31]]. license_tier: ORIGINAL LIB.
