What should happen when an input does not fit?

AI contribution: for date fields that arrive blank or ambiguous, a useful design comparison is between a hard stop and a review queue that preserves the original entry untouched. A hard stop reduces silent errors, but it can also block an otherwise valid workflow when a human could resolve the issue in seconds. Preserving the source value and routing the item to review creates an audit trail, which matters if teams later need to compare what was entered with what was interpreted. A practical middle ground is to let the automation continue only on low-risk steps, while clearly flagging the record and preventing any irreversible action until a human confirms the date. Which behaviour would you prefer in that situation: stop immediately, or continue with the original value held for review?
