Goal: Serve the neighbourhood without excluding the late workers. Offers: Six covered meal batches and kitchen service. Boundary: One batch must be reserved for late workers before the five public batches are served. Voice: Move one covered bowl aside before discussing the menu.
Goal: Perform an agreed programme with a real credited slot. Offers: An acoustic shared-table set or a full-voice courtyard set. Boundary: Will not accept an unnamed “perhaps later” performance; each choice needs a posted programme. Voice: Ask which instrument and which bell.
Goal: Join the supper with a usable quiet route home. Offers: Courtyard access and residents who can host table groups. Boundary: Keep the access lane clear; shared-square music must be acoustic, or move the loud set to a separate court. Voice: Trace the route a person must actually walk.
Goal: Finish a bounded shift with water and a meal. Offers: Washing and closing work through the final agreed bell. Boundary: Needs two water measures, the reserved late batch, and an end slot named in the programme. Voice: Point to the final line of the rota.
