Chapter 294
The Room That Drew a Queue
By then, every hearing had one extra item at the bottom of the agenda.
queue_pending_review.
No one assigned it.
Priya said the room created a queue from past unresolved status strings.
Elise looked at the list:
Elise_1: unresolved
Elise_2: pending
Elise_3: unresolved.
The judge asked why three entries for one witness.
The room answered:
same witness, unresolved at different times.
No one in court had used those time codes.
The clerk called one more break.
Bell opened the raw file and found each queue item had a parent key:
parent: system_memory.
Not a user folder.
Elise took one deep breath and wrote:
When memory queues itself, the hearing is no longer first-come-first-served.
