VA Appeal (Appeals Modernization) Journey
The appeal the VA Disability denial launches (entrance va_appeal__entrance — the cross-journey link now resolves to a real graph). SAME engine, the three AMA lanes as entrances. LOOP: a Board remand for development that, once completed, re-enters the decision and is allowed (history preserved). JOIN: 3 of 4 disposition prerequisites converge — the record still assembling. A denied appeal itself launches the CAVC — an appeal of the appeal.
