What it rests on
| Input | Value | Basis | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incident date | 2026-03-06 | From a document | |
| Injury first recorded | 2026-04-17 | From a document |
Deterministic reasoning
- Safe date 2026-03-06 from a document; the clock is 2028-03-06.
- A later document (2026-04-17) first records the injury.
- LIM-05 records this as a fork for counsel. The safe date leads; the clock does not move.
