Start with the two communities’ seed manifests and return notes. It is the source used to decide how exchange partners keep local names while tracking a shared lot; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the shared table at East Canopy Gate.
Known: the current file counts 90 lots with a return date and a germination note, compared with 91 in the prior window. The circle publishes options with the seasonal limits stated beside them. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: Each community has a valid local record. The joint table needs a cross-index before it can compare returns. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to one lot is returned as a local-name variety without a cross-index.
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 fifth, canopy height window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Both record keepers will add a cross-index without replacing the original names.
