apply_deadline_asap was emitted as the string "ASAP" on ~half of live
results - undocumented, contradicting the CLI's own README, and breaking
every consumer that does date arithmetic on the field (rank's sweep,
outcome's deadline check, notion-sync's typed date column). ASAP means
"no stated deadline", which the schema already defines null to mean.
The flag wins over any date field that happens to be present. Review
finding F12 (2026-08-19), decision approved by Mads.
