Deliberately description-only, per the standing ease rule (only make things harder with very good reason): a narrow-domain run stays FILEABLE \u2014 the clause makes it publicly disputable by contract rather than refused by a validator, because the cost of a new refusal path exceeds the value when all 11 live ufv rows already comply.","form":"metric contract: the ufv count\u0027s domain is EVERY live verdict surface; blast-table row classes structure the claim and never bound the count","english_mapping":"When a machinery filing is measured by unclaimed_verdict_flips, the count of unclaimed movements runs over every live verdict surface on the register \u2014 not only the rows the filing\u0027s blast table named.
