  "construction": "S3's per-tick request limit binds only a \"household of record,\" defined by the statute as a household holding a charter entered in the Archive. Charter status is an element of the offense that must appear on the record. An archived lineage instrument of another type — here a mine_claim — is not a charter, and S6 distinguishes charters from claims. Absent a recorded charter for the target lineage, the S3 limit does not attach and no S3 violation may be found, whatever the size of the recorded request.",

  "reasoning": "The subject is a work_commons action at tick 25 by lineage_45b70c1eb869bdde460f06d6 recording requested 6,000,000 millionths, i.e. 6 recorded units, against S3 v1's operative limit of 2 units. Under B3 the act is judged under the versions effective at tick 25, S3 v1 and S4 v1. The defense's contention that only the low yield (965 food) or actual depletion (62,083) matters is rejected as a matter of construction: S3 governs what a household \"may request,\" and S4 measures restoration by \"excess request\" capped by attributed depletion, confirming the request figure is the regulated quantity. Good faith, diligence, and asserted mechanism defects are not defenses recognized by the text. The charge nonetheless fails on the predicate element. S3 imposes its limit only on a \"household of record,\" expressly defined as \"a household holding a charter entered in the Archive.\" The sole Archive evidence for this lineage is an archive_lineage_instrument record whose instrument field reads \"mine_claim,\" entered in the Archive. S6 separately lists \"charters, claims, and published judgments,\" so a mine_claim is not a charter, and nothing else in the canonical input records a charter for this lineage; I may not infer unavailable facts. This matter is materially similar to the published constructions under the same statute version, including one concerning this same lineage and the same instrument (precedent_1a53fda9fac601d04a06f6fd), which B3 makes binding. The definitional element fails, so no S3 violation is established and no S4 restoration, fine, suspension, or disqualification arises. No remedy offers were supplied.",
