Navani herself tells the assembled kings that information sharing about fabrial science is insufficient.

While I have total respect for Navani she is not omniscient or unbiased.

By that logic the people knowing about the diagramm and not reporting them are doing nothing wrong.

Moral and legal responsibility are different.  Jasnah is not under any legal obligation to show things from her private experience nor do I belive would she withhold information without a good reason.

Because they have not solved it. They have found a mode of cooperation. Yet that is not the level of cooperation that will beat Odium.

I guess I am confused again, because I am not sure how that is not how coalitions, and governments work. You have multiple groups of individuals with disparate goals, and beliefs. You will never "solve" anything. The point is to work with each other, negotiate, compromise, and work towards common goals. If anything was ever "solved", there wouldn't be conflict on the planet at all. Rulerships change hands, technology advances, public support swings various ways. One group had an issue regarding the oathgaths, another individual said well what about their information network, while another spoke of greed. Navani negotiated and worked within the coalition and system. Everyone got what they want and no one got what they want. That's how that works. Allies are under no obligation to release their state secrets carte blanch. In fact that is literally stated in the book.

"I suspect that each monarch in this room" Jasnah said "Would prefer to know that state secrets are allowed to remain their own. This is an alliance, not a wedding"

Queen Fen nodded at that

 

Jasnah made it very clear. This is an alliance, not a free for all. Each nation still holds its autonomy.
