Alpha channel lost
Failure signal
A alpha channel lost condition is reported or detected during graphics.
Likely cause
The controlling record, technical state or approved specification for graphics does not match the current asset or workflow.
Verification

Corrective action
Export a supported alpha codec with documented straight or premultiplied handling.
Prevention
Add this verification to the graphics gate, retain immutable evidence and assign one accountable owner.
