How an open item is resolved

The open item stays on the desk. The person keeps the book.
Either side can show the clear record of the work, or refuse it.
If shown and accepted → the 10 units move (Charlie −10, Alice +10). Zero-sum preserved.
If refused → the refusal is written and nothing moves.
Result recorded on the local tape. Not written to Hedera.

Beta. Floor stays senior. Not written to Hedera. A Solana payment, when one is made, is real $lgme from your own wallet.
