The latest file on the east seam records that the clerk has matched the claim to its source register and named the missing record. The existing rule remains in force; officials have not announced a permanent change.

Uldra Ker, shift foreman on the east face, said the latest file records 55 soundings recorded before entry, compared with 59 in the previous count. The figures cover the entries on the register, not every condition at the site.

The foreman calls the readings a useful warning; the survey office says the marks need a second instrument before they can justify a closure. The current record does not settle that disagreement. At the latest public table, residents asked the clerk to keep their account beside the source count. No final finding has been issued.

Dara Vek checked the soundings book and the crew’s pre-entry inspection cards against the field notes. The method is to start at the shift handoff, where an official total can lose its context; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them. The docket is marked EAST-SEAM-14, and the next check is assigned to a second crew.

A second surveyor will repeat the readings from the opposite wall. Until that check is complete, the schedule already in force continues to govern.
