A review of the gate calendar, repair notes and requests from neighboring paths finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the high path gate above the western grove. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the north turn dries before the shaded bridge approaches.

The the gate calendar, repair notes and requests from neighboring paths lists 65 open days recorded with a surface condition; the previous window lists 66. Lyra Ash checked both against visits to the workshop or room alongside interviews with its users. The source was checked against a second copy held by Mira Fen. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.

Walkers can use the north branch earlier. Carriers want one opening date that applies to the whole route. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.

This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide whether to open one branch before the full path is safe for carts.

Neighbors and makers submit observations before the council table closes. The Year fourth, budbreak window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Path keepers will publish separate foot and cart openings for one trial season.
