Trace the worksheet status lookup and saved context
Read the explanation
This worksheet displays one of three fixed interpretation templates. The selected order-status value is the lookup key: lawful, unclear or illegal. The source does not assess evidence, determine applicable law or establish whether the selected classification is correct. It merely reads the status supplied by the user. Three available statuses map to three fixed branches. The diagram describes this program lookup, not a legal decision or advice about any real order. The source itself requires applicable law, facts and qualified or authorized review for a real case. The role selector also has three choices, giving three status choices times three role choices: nine possible input frames. Both bars count choices at one hundred pixels each. The role and decisive-fact note are retained in the saved state and exported inputs, but they do not choose the displayed interpretation. Only the status key selects the branch. Changing the role therefore preserves the branch while changing the recorded context. Changing a note saves it locally without independently evaluating its legal significance. Every native status, role and note event saves the three-field state in local storage. Export downloads inputs, the selected fixed branch text, next question, assumptions and source boundary. It preserves the reader-supplied note without verifying it. Reset sets the source defaults, removes the stored record, rerenders the worksheet and shows Reset complete. Reload restores a previously saved record, while a reload after reset uses the defaults. No source document is retrieved and no legal or command action is carried out by these controls.
