Authoritative time & commitments
Real elapsed time governs shared work and journeys.
A single primary activity reserves its real inputs when committed. Routine cycles, travel, crafting, expert work and maritime jobs persist through refresh and restart. Routine time catches up automatically. Ordinary active work can settle after its final intervention; expert work retains its original time boundary. Cancellation follows the relevant return or reservation rules.
Verification: Runtime and patch tests cover stale turns, fixed deadlines, reservation accounting, cancellation and restart settlement.
Remaining: Long-lived contention and load measurements; a production retention policy for accumulated activity history.
