Owner

Problem

Backlog::Config::TrackerValue#checked raises NameError instead of Refused, because raise Refused does not resolve from that class. A caller that rescues the refusal does not catch it, and the user sees the wrong error.

Reproduce

n/a: run Backlog::Config::TrackerValue#checked on a refused tracker value and read the exception class.

Approach

Name the constant so that it resolves.

Required work: none beyond the acceptance criteria.

Acceptance criteria

Given a refused tracker value, when TrackerValue#checked runs, then it raises the Refused error and not NameError.
