A decision on the seven arches should be judged by what happens at the Seven Arches crossing above the east ravine. The docket is at step 2 of the current review. Its latest entry reads: The clerk has matched the claim to its source register and named the missing record. A rule that looks complete in the chamber can still leave the people who use it carrying an unmeasured cost.
39 loaded crossings were entered this cycle, compared with 37 in the prior file. That comparison matters because the public summary counts entries. The open question is whether the fourth arch can carry trade carts while repair stones are brought up the same road.
The inspector’s limit protects the oldest span; carriers say the alternate route adds a full stair and a second toll. 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.
Tavi Orr checked the stone-load register and the night watch’s closure notices against the field notes. The method is to trace a system from its control gate to the last household it is meant to serve; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them. The practical evidence is a pale repair seam beneath the fourth arch, visible from the lower path; 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 masons will place a temporary measure stone before authorizing the next heavy load. That is the narrowest decision that can be defended from the evidence now available.
