Start with batch cards, rinse readings and the shared pigment shelf list. It is the source used to decide how a cooperative can preserve a maker’s color record across different looms; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the Blueleaf dye room.

Known: the current file counts 36 batches with a source and rinse note, compared with 40 in the prior window. The circle publishes options with the seasonal limits stated beside them. The entries have dates and a named clerk.

Disputed: Makers want the local color name preserved. Buyers need a comparable sample before placing a second order. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to a shared pigment lot changes shade after a second rinse.

Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.

Next: The Year third, budbreak window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The shelf list will keep the local name beside a dated comparison swatch.
