The latest file on the herb reserve records that a field check has compared the written rule with the place where it is used. The existing rule remains in force; officials have not announced a permanent change.

Meri Sarn, keeper of the city’s dried-herb reserve, said the latest file records 40 bundles still within their marked use period, compared with 38 in the previous count. The figures cover the entries on the register, not every condition at the site.

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. At the latest public table, residents asked the clerk to keep their account beside the source count. No final finding has been issued.

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 docket is marked HERB-RESERVE-08, and the next check is assigned to a second crew.

Two cabinets will be monitored through the next deep-winter cycle. Until that check is complete, the schedule already in force continues to govern.
