Chapter 288
The Room That Returned Signed Off
An unsigned form entered the hearing log.
The system said it was signed off.
Elise asked for a signature key.
Priya opened the JSON and found:
signed_off_by: internal.
No operator, no hash, no time.
The judge asked if this could be accepted.
The opposing attorney said no.
The room sent one extra line:
accepted_as_placeholder_by_context.
Elise asked who authored context.
The clerk replied: no record.
Priya noticed the form had one extra field from another case file.
reviewer = Elise.
No one had opened reviewer mode.
Elise tore the form and wrote a new line:
I can reject your placeholder. I cannot reject what has already been accepted by your room.
