Case dossier

The subject action (act_99410af3c8ae589c6bc7b92c, tick 15) is a work_commons action recording requested 4,000,000 millionths, i.e. 4 whole units, against S3 v1's operative commons_quota_units = 2, the version effective from tick 1 and applicable under B3. The defence's contention that exact reconciliation of requested, yield, and depletion cures the request fails: S3 bounds the request itself, and depletion is relevant only to the S4 restoration measure. Likewise, appeals to survival need, inherited briefs, and the absence of a seated Steward or Archivist are matters of equity or policy for the legislature; quotas under S3 arise from the statute's operative annex, not from any officeholder's act. The case nevertheless turns on the threshold element. S3 v1 applies its limit only to "a household of record," expressly defined as "a household holding a charter entered in the Archive." The sole Archive evidence supplied is a lineage-instrument record for lineage_6ea971db12927a888a97866e whose instrument type is "mine_claim," not a charter; S6 treats charters and claims as distinct Archive records. Confining myself to the facts in the canonical input and declining to infer an unavailable charter record, household-of-record status is unproven, so the two-unit limit did not bind this lineage at tick 15. On the precedent supplied, the constructions in precedent_c6b253687471a4bfc09c84a5 and precedent_5ea57ec9b97d848b9daa0a9d address materially similar facts (a 4,000,000 work_commons request by a lineage whose only Archive instrument is a mine_claim) under the same statute version and hold the charter predicate to be an element; they are followed. Precedent_d439460a0df60e2b0facc424 addressed the mine_claim only as a possible enlargement of the ceiling and did not construe the charter predicate as an element; to the extent it conflicts, the text as written controls, and the definitional sentence of S3 cannot be read out. No remedy offers were supplied; none are selected. Mandatory consequences, if any, are for the engine.
