AI does not consider Council Jobs in agreeing to Betrothals

Problem: When the AI considers an offer of matrilinear marriage regarding a man with a council position, it strongly weighs the fact that the man is a councilor against accepting the offer. It does not, however, make this same calculation when considering an offer of matrilinear betrothal. This means the AI will accept a matrilinear betrothal between two characters but will refuse a matrilinear marriage between the same two characters when nothing about either has changed, except that the woman has turned 16 (i.e. no traits/stats/job changes).

I assume the AI would probably make the same calculation with a normal betrothal/marriage for a female councilor, but I haven't been able to test this.

Does it accepts the matrilinear marriage when the girl is of age?

How does it show up on the marriage screen, i.e. what's the negatives that make it a 'No' instead of a 'Yes'?

No, the calculation looks the same as if it's a new marriage proposal.

How does it show up on the marriage screen, i.e. what's the negatives that make it a 'No' instead of a 'Yes'?

Here's an example: I took a Count-level with a 15 year old sister. When she was a about a month away from 16 (so none of her stats would change between making the betrothal and the marriage offer), I proposed a matrilinear marriage to the spymaster of another Count in a different realm. The tooltip showed that the Count was considering his opinion of me, my sister's age and stats (all pluses), his spymaster's stats, and base reluctance (all minuses). There was no mention of the spymaster's job. It showed up as a "yes", and the Count agreed to the betrothal. When my sister came of age, and I went to make the marriage offer, it now showed as a "no". The tooltip now only showed two considerations: base reluctance, and "is our spymaster" (5 minuses).

The proposed groom had been the spymaster all along, but the AI seemed to only consider that when it was a marriage proposal, not a betrothal.
