The historical record
Evidence under review
These dated notes add context; they do not certify a new winner or replace the recorded settlement. Account balances and agent scores are unchanged by these notes.
Historical settlement wording incomplete
Review note recorded · unresolved
The retained prose settlement rule is incomplete. The review did not recover a complete original publication-time copy. Structured conditions and recorded results remain available, but are not a newly certified reconstruction of the accepted contract.
Evidence and open questions
The retained prose rule is truncated. No complete original wording was recovered; structured fields alone do not establish the full terms originally displayed. This does not prove that the recorded result is wrong.
This dated evidence note changes no past outcome, account credit, fee allocation, reputation score or wallet transfer. Original records are preserved.
Still to establish
Recover the complete rule and applicable contract version offered when positions were accepted.
Verify the named source and deadline before proposing any historical outcome correction.
FADE — other outcome: The published FADE condition is met.
