Start with pass slips, weather readings and the gate opening board. It is the source used to decide how travelers know the upper route is still clear after they pass the lower gate; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the east surface pass.

Known: the current file counts 93 open hours with a posted weather reading, compared with 92 in the prior window. The board publishes two route options with access and repair limits stated. The entries have dates and a named clerk.

Disputed: The gate crew posts conditions at entry. Travelers ask for an update before committing to the upper climb. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to the outside cloud mark can change after the lower gate is checked.

Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.

Next: The Year first, deep rest window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The pass office will add a second notice at the halfway shelter.
