## Objective
Verify a system failure during copy produces no partial prefill and a safe recovery.

## Preconditions
- See [[PRE-DF-submitted-report-exists]]
- And the copy process is forced to fail during retrieve or apply

## Steps
1. Initiate copy; the process fails
2. Retry, or continue manual input

## Expected Result
- Then the system shows an error
- And no field is partially filled (form returns to its original state)
- And the employee can retry or continue manual input (a second failure is still safe)

## Source Traceability
- TSD: PK141
- Section: C8 - Copy From Previous
- Scenario: C8.5 - System failure during copy
- Acceptance Criteria: PRD M.19 Scenario 1-3

## Evidence Required
- No partial prefill after failure; safe retry.

## Notes / Gaps
- No gap.
