STATUS: The affected crew has tried the revised procedure under ordinary working conditions. The current rule remains in force at the dry herb room behind the public infirmary.

RECORD: The reserve labels and the healers’ weekly issue notes. This file counts 15 bundles still within their marked use period; the prior count was 12.

DISPUTE: The central store is dry but distant; the neighborhood cabinets are faster to reach but vary in temperature.

WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns whether reserve bundles can be moved closer to the clinics without raising the risk of damp damage. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.

NEXT: Two cabinets will be monitored through the next deep-winter cycle. The clerk has marked the file HERB-RESERVE-25 for the next public review.
