It's ossified because the direct ratification takes an extra 4 days, and that runs afoul of the 4-week limit – the rest of the process hypothetically takes between 24 and 28 days. (The ratification of the "Agora is not ossified" statement also takes 4 days, but that isn't actually relevant here.) It is not, however, unrecoverable – it's just that the recovery process takes too long for rule 1698 to be happy.
