Start with the drawer index and return notes from each neighborhood table. It is the source used to decide how a shared index can preserve local names while making lots easy to compare; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the community seed room at Fern Steps.
Known: the current file counts 94 seed lots returned with a germination note, compared with 100 in the prior window. The steward attaches the original field record and the last method note. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: Gardeners want names carried across generations. The nursery needs one index for tracking germination and storage. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to several lots are catalogued by local name and by the nursery’s scientific name.
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 first, seedfall window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The room will add a cross-reference without replacing the local drawer labels.
