Purported resolutions of Agoran decisions are self-ratifying?
What if they are via an act-on-behalf that is platonically uncertain? Do
they still self-ratify, even if the purported resolution could never be
performed?

The relevant text, from R2034:
A public document purporting to resolve an Agoran decision
constitutes self-ratifying claims that [...]
The issue is that ais523 sent a message claiming not that ais523
resolved the decision, but that Murphy resolved it (via
act-on-behalf). However, in neither case is the public document
itself resolving the decision; "a public document purporting to
resolve an Agoran decision", therefore, must be interpreted as "a
public document purporting to cause an Agoran decision to be
resolved", a criterion that ais523's message satisfied. TRUE.
