A decision on the deep garden blight should be judged by what happens at the Deep Garden terraces beneath the south cistern. The docket is at step 8 of the current review. Its latest entry reads: A public vote has approved a narrow change while leaving the larger question open. A rule that looks complete in the chamber can still leave the people who use it carrying an unmeasured cost.
60 beds showing the same pale edge on their leaves were entered this cycle, compared with 59 in the prior file. That comparison matters because the public summary counts entries. The open question is whether the affected beds should be isolated before the next communal harvest.
Growers see the pattern spreading along one trench; the garden office says the samples do not yet distinguish rot from mineral stress. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The objection deserves a direct answer, but it is not a reason to make the rule permanent before the affected residents can check the method.
Runa Ash checked the bed rotation map and the growers’ sample notes against the field notes. The method is to separate available stock from stock that can reach a patient in time; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them. The practical evidence is a faint ring on the underside of leaves nearest the shared watering trench; any new measure should record that condition beside the total.
The chamber should approve a limited trial with a published end date, a way to record exceptions and a named reviewer. The soil readers will take paired samples from both sides of the trench. That is the narrowest decision that can be defended from the evidence now available.
