+/**
+ * seat-record — the ONE reading of the seat's `## 席位核对` record on a pull
+ * request: where the record is, and which verdict it carries.
+ *
+ * ## Why it is its own file
+ *
+ * Two tools read this one artefact. `check-half-states.mjs` (H69) asks whether
+ * a record is on the thread at all; `fleet-roster.mjs` asks whether the record
+ * lets the pull land. Each used to carry its own pattern for the heading, and
+ * they read the live inline spelling `## 席位核对 — ACCEPT · …` differently: H69
+ * saw a record, the roster saw no verdict. Neither tool imports the other, so
+ * the heading and the verdict reading live here and both import them. ⛔ Never
+ * re-spell either pattern in a reader; a new spelling is added here, with a
+ * case in BOTH self-tests.
+ *
+ * It is a sibling of its two readers, ⛔ not under a `lib/` subdirectory: a
+ * multi-segment import specifier counts as a dispatch-gates watch hint, and a
+ * module that inherits one from its gate files loses it when they import here.
+ *
+ * ## The record, as it is written
+ *
+ * The heading opens a line, optionally inside a blockquote, as `## 席位核对`
+ * (pm-dispatch SKILL.md ①, `references/execution-duties.md`). The verdict is
+ * read in this order, and the FIRST verdict word met decides:
+ *
+ *   inline   on the heading line itself, after a separator:
+ *            `## 席位核对 — ACCEPT · domain:skills#2 · …`
+ *   below    the first line under the heading that opens with a verdict word,
+ *            bold or bare: `**ACCEPT** · …`, `REWORK · …`
+ *
+ * `ACCEPT` is the only verdict that lets a pull land; `REWORK` and `REJECT`
+ * never do, and a record whose verdict cannot be read carries `null`.
+ *
+ * ⛔ No network, no I/O, no imports: a body in, a reading out.
