David F GliddenandClaude Opus 5 1a3a40fd12 Bank the weeks rule: a dated measurement is not a status
Five instances in two days, one class: PENDING-147s discharged deadline, PENDING-133s
Awaiting line contradicted by its own Status line four lines above it, PENDING-134s
satisfied condition, REVIEWED-135 §8, and its AMENDMENT 1 point 6 repeating the error
one amendment later. PENDING-139 is the clean statement — half-stale in the direction
that matters, so ruling it as filed would authorize repairing what is already repaired.

The defect is never in the item; each was true when measured. It is in a queue where
measurements sit for weeks reading as present tense. Banked because the rule that would
have caught all five was not written anywhere.
