If step one says not applicable, nothing downstream runs — which is precisely why tax silently does not appear. There is no error because nothing failed; the pipeline stopped at the first gate. Every step gets its answer from either a default you set or a rule you wrote. Both options exist at every step, which is the subject of the next lesson.
