A decision on the shared cistern levels should be judged at the cistern at Lantern Well, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Trace each route from its entrance marker to the last branch that residents rely on. The current file is the Year fourth, first seep window 3 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The the draw board and readings kept by three connected rooms lists 31 draw turns recorded at each branch connection; the previous window lists 32. Tikka Reed checked both against walk-through notes from every branch paired with the posted passage map. The difference matters because how a shared cistern turn is measured at the branch that fills last.
The cistern keeper counts one release. The far branch residents say their turn begins after the near room has closed its valve. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, the nearest room fills before the far branch opens.
The Year fourth, first seep window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The draw board will show start and end marks at each branch valve.
