  "construction": "S3's extraction limit reaches only a \"household of record,\" which the statute defines as a household holding a charter entered in the Archive. Where the record shows only an Archive instrument of another type (here a mine_claim) and no charter, S3 supplies no applicable limit and S4 is not engaged.",

  "reasoning": "The subject is a work_commons action at tick 9 by lineage_d042259e5d23dda187fad94a, requesting 4,000,000 millionths (4 units) with actual_depletion 4,000,000. S3 v1 (effective tick 1) applies at tick 9 and caps a request at 2 recorded units, but only for \"a household of record,\" defined by the statute as \"a household holding a charter entered in the Archive.\" The only evidence is an archive lineage instrument whose instrument field is \"mine_claim\" — a claim, not a charter; S6 lists charters and claims as distinct instruments the Archive records. Nothing in the input establishes that this lineage holds a charter, and I may not infer facts outside the record (B1, B2). The closing clause \"A request in excess of the applicable limit is governed by S4\" presupposes an applicable limit; none applies to a lineage outside the governed class. The published construction in precedent_359a54c467ed6b782fb59741, under the same statute version and materially similar facts (same instrument type, same request magnitude, same action kind), is binding under B3 and requires this result. The defense's further contentions (that request equalled depletion, that intensity 2 was the lawful unit count) are not dispositive, since S3 measures the request; the charter element fails independently. No remedy is available or offered.",
