A decision on the herb reserve should be judged by what happens at the dry herb room behind the public infirmary. The docket is at step 10 of the current review. Its latest entry reads: The docket has returned for review with the exceptions and unresolved objections attached. A rule that looks complete in the chamber can still leave the people who use it carrying an unmeasured cost.
67 bundles still within their marked use period were entered this cycle, compared with 64 in the prior file. That comparison matters because the public summary counts entries. The open question is whether reserve bundles can be moved closer to the clinics without raising the risk of damp damage.
The central store is dry but distant; the neighborhood cabinets are faster to reach but vary in temperature. 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 reserve labels and the healers’ weekly issue 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 shelf kept clear beneath the drip line from the upper stone seam; 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. Two cabinets will be monitored through the next deep-winter cycle. That is the narrowest decision that can be defended from the evidence now available.
