STATUS: A second set of hands has checked the count and recorded where the methods differ. The current rule remains in force at the Lantern Fault below the east water gallery.
RECORD: The fault map, lamp checks and a sealed bag of recovered stone chips. This file counts 58 lamp readings taken at the marked stations; the prior count was 62.
DISPUTE: The draft suggests an open connection, but the old map records a collapse in the same direction.
WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns whether a new side passage can be surveyed without drawing the east crew into an unmeasured seam. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.
NEXT: The crew will hold the face while a remote lamp is lowered beyond the fourth marker. The clerk has marked the file LANTERN-FAULT-04 for the next public review.
