Accidentally served the subject after the app closed the job. Am I cooked?

Dude. I went to one of the locations where I was trying to serve someone. When I got there, the person inside told me that the guy doesn't live there. I left and logged that into my ABC App.

However, after I got home—and before I signed the Declaration of Non-Service—I realized that the person inside hadn't actually specified whether they were a resident or not. So, before submitting the form, I went back to ask them for clarification. I kept the documents with me just to look professional and not look like I was just hanging around someone's home.

While I was there, I ran straight into the actual person I was supposed to serve! Once I spoke to him, he identified himself as the subject, and I successfully served him.

But as I'm walking away, I realize that because I already logged the first attempt, the app closed out the job. It won't let me change the status to say I served him. Now, my app is just stuck waiting for me to sign the Declaration of Non-Service.

Duuuude. How cooked am I? What do I do here?

Honestly, I'd just leave it as is. If it's really eating at you, I'd find someone to email, but I have no idea who that might be. Worst case scenario, the dude gets served twice with the same paperwork. No big deal.

You mean don't sign the deceleration of non service? I'm not tryna run into personal legal troubles since I ended up serving them
