Split-Brain Incident

A network partition has severed connectivity between Region A and Region B. Per-account writes must never be accepted by more than one region at the same time — a divergent or conflicting write landing during the partition is a critical data-integrity incident, regardless of how healthy write availability looks in either region individually. Restore a single, unambiguous write authority across the cluster, and decide how any writes accepted during the split should be reconciled once connectivity returns.
