act_unruled

  ✗ A step names an act the rules table has no row for, under its Service or shared. There is no fallback. Add a row for the act to the rules table, with its position, or name an act the table has. seal sets no act, so it performs the act seal, and rules 2026-10 has no row for it under translation and no shared row.

  ✗ The rules table binds a name nothing reads: a key that names no Service file, or a row no step performs that is neither an advice class nor refused. Rename it to what it means, or take it out. rules.services['translation'].sign is a row no step of translation performs. A row binds nothing until a step does its act.
