⇄ the record shiftsBrody’s record shifts: showed believes NOT “to leave the sea” at t=1400 (e-0700), then believes “to leave the sea” at t=3400 (e-1960) — 2000 ticks apart, both on the record ·

◑ two facesTam holds knows “the will was altered” (since t=3960 · e-1877) yet shows believes NOT “the will was altered” to Elspeth (since t=4200 · e-2050) — the two tracks diverge; the diff is in the fold ·
rule candor.divergence — reports the diff between the tracks, with provenance, from the fold alone · the cross-holder contradiction rule stays silent here (right holders, not missing data) · the inference is refused: why the faces differ — deceit, doubt outgrown, a mind changed — is never the system’s call; that ruling belongs on the Bench

the displayed track made a surface (engine: stance.display — the face shown, vs held) · two divergence grammars, both from the legal variant's juror-candor receipt: ◑ two faces (a live display contradicts the live held stance — Tam knows the will was altered and shows Elspeth otherwise) and ⇄ the record shifts (two displays on the record disagree — Brody swore content to the crew, then the opposite ashore, 2 000 ticks apart, both on the record) · scrub: Elspeth's mask closes when she stops performing (private again — a held stance with no display is normal, not divergent), Brody's mask closes ashore but his shift is permanent once on the record · Kell is the candid control — he shows what he holds, and no rule ever fires · every finding is worded with both provenances; the footer is the point: the inference is refused — deceit, doubt outgrown, a mind changed — that ruling belongs on the Bench, never in the rule
