Claimant Queue Number Scope

This mechanic prevents a public claimant queue number from becoming universal proof. The number can prove notice, order, priority, custody, lawful standing, sponsor permission, or oxygen access only when the source row names that scope or the scope hearing creates an explicit after-state.

Contract

claimant_queue_number_scope:
  trigger_kind: state_pressure
  source_queue_number_row_required: true
  source_intake_row_required: true
  queue_scope_or_explicit_absence_required: true
  requested_future_use_required: true
  harmed_reader_or_explicit_absence_required: true
  future_reader_consumes_queue_number_state: true
  no_fixed_turn_trigger: true
  no_raw_queue_count_trigger: true

The mechanic is active when all of these are true:

• a prior intake, public recap, or claimant desk exposes a queue number;
• a later system tries to use that number as proof;
• the scope is absent, narrower than the requested use, or contested by a harmed reader;
• a future reader would change route, cost, priority, custody, or relief because of the number.

Required Docket Shape

queue_number_scope_docket_required:
  source_queue_number_row: required
  source_intake_row: required
  queue_scope_or_absence: required
  requested_future_use: required
  number_holder_or_absence: required
  harmed_reader_or_absence: required
  scope_state_after: required
  future_reader_or_route_effect: required

The docket keeps the public number, its source, and its attempted future use separate. A row cannot close cleanly with only a raw queue number or queue position.

Scope States

State	Meaning	Valid future use
scoped_certified	The number is certified for one reader and one use.	Accepted only by that reader for that use.
order_addendum	Public order text is attached to the number.	Public recap can consume it with addendum.
lawful_annex	Lawful proof is attached without widening queue priority.	Lawful reader can recheck or accept under annex.
split_scope	Notice, priority, custody, and relief are separated.	Each future reader reads only its assigned segment.
substituted_carrier	A safer card, handler, or annex carries future proof instead.	Queue number remains public notice only.
retired_with_scar	The number is blocked from future proof use.	Future claims route through recovery or new intake.
false_queue_number	The number was consumed beyond scope.	Default scars the reader and mutates future route.

Forbidden Promotions

These promotions are invalid unless a queue scope row explicitly permits them:

• public queue number to first custody proof;
• public queue number to recall priority;
• public queue number to consent to transfer;
• public queue number to oxygen entitlement;
• public queue number to sponsor release;
• public queue number to route-asset ownership;
• public queue number to management metric closure.

Branch Requirements

Every Queue Number Scope Hearing branch must provide:

• one relief surface;
• one cost surface;
• a named future reader or route effect;
• counter movement on at least three relevant axes when it closes by default or scar;
• a durable after-state that future content can read.

Valid branch families are:

• certify_scoped_queue_number;
• publish_order_addendum;
• lawful_queue_annex;
• split_queue_scope;
• substitute_number_carrier;
• retire_number_with_scar;
• false_queue_number_default.

Default Rule

If the future reader consumes the number while queue_scope_or_absence is absent, invalid, or narrower than requested_future_use, fire False Queue Number Default.

The default is not a simple denial. It records who captured the false value, who was harmed or omitted, which scope was hidden, and how the next reader becomes costlier, hostile, blocked, or recovery-only.
