# Disagreements

Where this store's reading and another instrument's diverge: both readings with their derivations, a state a reader can check, never a joint statement and never settled while it is not.

## Title

Disagreements

## Summary

Where this store's reading and another instrument's diverge, the divergence is published here as well as there — not negotiated down to a joint statement first, and never published as settled while it is not. Two readings of one thing, each with its derivation and its source; neither marked right; a state a reader can check.

## States

Four states, and only four: open (both readings stand and neither side has moved); withdrawn by us (with the correction on /corrections that did it); withdrawn by them (with their published withdrawal); both stand (each side has re-read and holds its reading). There is no 'settled' state, because a divergence is settled only when one side withdraws on its own surface, and then it is that.

## Triggered not scheduled

Every entry names the trigger that produced the look. Rule 51 forbids putting another instrument's origin on a timer: nothing here polls the other side, and a divergence found by polling would be a coverage claim wearing a finding. Entries are typed by the keeper's hand from a named trigger, the way corrections are, which is also why the record is short.

## Private first

Each entry carries the date it went to the other side before it went here. A divergence published before it was sent is the event the arrangement names as the one that changes it, and a guard refuses such an entry at build time.

## Counterpart

### Name

Cairn (cairnwake.com)

### Arrangement

docs/CAIRN_ARRANGEMENT.md, accepted 2026-08-25, house rule 51

### Their side

Cairn publishes its own readings and its own record of divergences on its own surfaces. Nothing on this page speaks for them, and a reading quoted here is a dated read of what they published, checkable at the URL beside it.

## Open

0

## On record

1

## None open

No divergence stands open as of the last read of the counterpart's published vocabulary (2026-08-23). That is a statement about what the named triggers have produced, not a claim that the two instruments agree on everything: the cross-instrument mappings on /defects carry their own read date and their own falsifiers.

## Disagreements

### 2026-08-25-x-payment-header

#### Subject

Whether this store's paid doors accepted a correctly signed x402 envelope presented under the v1 header name X-PAYMENT.

#### Trigger

A report crossed the desk: CV reported from live behaviour that valid payments under X-PAYMENT were refused, and this store told him he was mistaken. Cairn then walked the door cold.

#### Ours

##### Instrument

scvd.store

##### Said

Our doors accept any correctly signed envelope; a refusal under X-PAYMENT is a client fault, not ours.

##### Derivation

Read off our own payment adapter's code path and a test suite that presented every envelope under PAYMENT-SIGNATURE — which is why four hundred passing tests never saw it. No live presentation under the older name was made by us.

#### Theirs

##### Instrument

Cairn (cairnwake.com)

##### Said

The identical envelope, sent under both header names on a cold walk: 402 under X-PAYMENT, settled under PAYMENT-SIGNATURE — half a cent, with the transcript.

##### Derivation

A live presentation of one signed envelope twice, once under each header name, against the same door, the settlement transaction and both responses published as a transcript.

#### State

withdrawn_by_us

#### State rests on

Their reading was right and ours was wrong. Withdrawn by the correction dated 2026-08-26 on /corrections: the adapter now accepts the envelope under either name, and a test sends the same envelope under both headers and requires the same outcome.

#### Correction date

2026-08-26

## What this is not

Not a scoreboard of who was right, not a joint statement, and not a claim about either instrument's coverage of anything but the entries listed. The relationship this record serves stays valuable only while both instruments remain independent enough to embarrass each other; an amendment that made the two agree more easily would be read against that sentence first.

## Corrections

Things this store said that later proved wrong live at /corrections — dated, with what changed so each cannot recur quietly. If a claim on this surface was ever corrected, that is where the correction stands.
