senderIssue says why a double opt-in form cannot send confirmations right now: missing, not_sendable, or not_allowed when the form’s maker may not send as that address. It is null when they can go out, and always null with double opt-in off.

A form in another workspace, or one a member app did not make, is a 404 form_not_found, never a 403.
