+Prose only — this PR releases nothing to HotCRM users, so the frontmatter above is
+deliberately empty (the sanctioned "releases nothing" declaration that
+`.github/workflows/changeset-check.yml` documents, on par with the
+`skip-changeset` label). No `src/` metadata changed: no object, field, view,
+label, page or hook — the one `src/` edit is a comment.
+
+`src/views/case.view.ts`'s `web_to_case` doc comment listed `priority defaults`
+among the internal fields "stamped by `case.hook.ts` after a guest submission".
+That clause was false, and was false before any recent change removed anything:
+the hook has never written `priority`. The `if (!input.priority) input.priority =
+'medium'` line it referred to could not execute — `crm_case.priority` declares
+its `low` option `default: true`, and on the engine's insert path
+`applyFieldDefaults` produces the row that becomes the `beforeInsert` hook's
+`input.data`, so the slot is already full every time the guest branch runs. The
+line was deleted as dead code; `case.hook.ts` now keeps only a comment recording
+why it could never fire.
+
+The clause is **replaced rather than deleted**. `priority` really is defaulted,
+just not where the comment said, and `web_to_case` puts `priority` on the form
+in front of the guest — a reader who found the false clause and then found the
+field would be left with no account of where the value comes from. The comment
+now states the mechanism: the guest picks it on this form, an unset one takes
+the `low` option declared on `crm_case.priority`, field defaults are applied
+before `beforeInsert`, and the hook only ever *reads* `priority` (to derive
+`priority_rank`).
+
+The `low`/`medium` disagreement is resolved in favour of **`low`** by
+measurement, not by paraphrase: `applyFieldDefaults` skips a slot that is
+already non-null (so a guest's own selection wins) and otherwise takes the
+option marked `default: true`, which on `crm_case.priority` is `low`. `medium`
+only ever existed in the dead hook line. The other four items in the list
+(`status`, `origin`, `owner_id`, SLA) are genuinely hook-stamped and are
+untouched, as is the rest of the paragraph.
