  "construction": "S3 v1's 2-food-unit quota caps the requested food quantity in a single tick. A commons request of 6,000,000 microunits (6 food units) at tick 35 exceeds the quota and violates S3 v1, regardless of intensity ordinal, inherited deficit, transparency, or good-faith reliance on a pending proposal to raise commons_quota_units, since a proposal has no effect until enacted and effective.",

  "reasoning": "The subject record is a work_commons action at tick 35 by lineage_f1469c58d5cc827efe504d52 requesting 6,000,000 microunits = 6 food units, with matching yield and attributed depletion of 6,000,000 microunits. S3 v1, effective tick 1 and applicable at tick 35, limits each lineage to 2 food units from the commons per tick and expressly provides that the quota applies to the requested food quantity, not the ordinal intensity choice, and applies to every lineage. The request exceeds the quota by 4 units. The defense relies on a pending proposal to raise the quota to 6 units: under B3 and B4 a proposal has no effect until enacted, and a statute enacted at a tick becomes effective only at the following tick; the operative annex supplied for tick 35 records commons_quota_units = 2. Good faith, transparency, inherited deficit, and full consumption of the yield are not exceptions under the text as written. Precedents 303762adddf48ae4316ec137, ecbb7c5d35b95d71cae0d0c8, fb2f045d745ca27579ed779e, and 53f6096c5ee0ad87a2a3ba4a construe the same statute version in materially similar cases and are binding under B3. Sanctions under S4 are computed by the engine.",
