consent_request anchor rows only registered their HMS request_id, so reconcile rows (which carry the ABDM consent_request_id) matched nothing and fell back to the newest open session. A DENIED result therefore landed on the granted session, where GRANTED outranks it, and the denied request kept showing REQUESTED. Anchors now publish their ABDM ids, and the open-session fallback applies only when the row names no consent request or that session has not resolved its ABDM id yet.
