Measure and scope
As at 18 October 2026. The board decree's existence is Decree 191's statement; Decree 250 itself is not held.
Known conflict
Chapter 5 l.41 (16 and 17 August 2026: 'Nothing I found names either') was true at its date and did not find Decree 250 of 2025; l.43 already allows for instruments that 'exist unpublished, or exist in a gazette I did not reach'. Chapter 5 l.63 ('It is the decision to') is overtaken in part (AUTHOR: CL2-C held.md H-3). || 19 October 2026 (D-315 remediation, CONSOLIDATED.md R-C-11): the author ruled on l.63 at D-316 item 1, and Chapter 5 v81 reads 'What was missing at the Sovereign Fund until 18 October 2026 was not the capacity to publish an appointment. It was the decision to.' MIN-2221 is resolved by that ruling. Whether l.63 sits with SRC-846's bar on Decree 250 is put to the author (CONSOLIDATED section 7, R-C-4). || 19 October 2026 (D-317 item 3, the author's ruling on R-C-4): Chapter 5 v82 l.63 reads 'What was missing at the Sovereign Fund, in everything I could find until 18 October 2026, was not the capacity to publish an appointment. It was the decision to.' The line asserts nothing about Decree 250 of 2025, so it no longer sits against SRC-846's bar.
