# EDGE-8 — A condition on an edge is tolerated, warned about, and ignored

*GR-EDGE (Part I) · level: extended · profiles: storage-api, runtime · added in 1.0*

## The rule

> **Normative.** This is the rule.
>
> 1. A condition on an edge is a removed feature.
>
> 2. A stored `edge.data.condition` is tolerated and round-trips unchanged, and it gates nothing: the edge always routes.
>
> 3. A non-empty string condition is reported as a warning each time the source node's outgoing edges are resolved, so a source that executes more than once (inside a loop) warns each time rather than once per run.
>
> 4. An absent or empty condition is silent.
