I think the Herald must timely award the patent title Champion after a
victory per Rule 649:

the validity of those conditions.”
Yes, but I thought e still CAN do it later. The rule may be unclear.
Also per Rule 649, the Herald is responsible for tracking patent titles.
So, I *believe* the COE can be resolved either (1) by citing the open
CFJ or (2) by noting that the Herald has not yet awarded the Champion
title (so the report is correct). I think either of those resolution
would not self-ratify the victory out of existence (if it was a
victory).
Well (2) would be appropriate, but I think (1) is irrelevant until an
actual reward action happens. Also, I don't think any of this information
is self-ratifying regardless - I see nothing in the rules and vaguely
recall that the Herald's stuff has been left out on purpose.
And the time limit for the Herald to award the Champion title (if it was
a valid win) remains suspended until the CFJ is resolved.
That's true, but doesn't require a CoE.
