The public annotation layer's status had not changed.
Public annotation layer editing status: still in effect
Class D's response portal remained closed.
The official settlement field remained marked as completed.
All three appeared on the same page, but none overwrote the others.
Gu Heng asked Yukimura to bring up the page description again.
The annotation layer does not participate in submission attempts, points, or identity fields
Yukimura looked at the line.
"It can hold text, but it can't write anything into the official settlement."
"That's all we can confirm for now."
"Then should we check who has permission?"
"Check whether Class D does first."
Yukimura opened the public annotation layer's action menu using a Class D account.
The menu offered three options: save version, view time, and request an addition.
He clicked request an addition.
The page immediately returned a line of gray text.
Current identity has no permission to write external annotations; public versions may be saved
Yukimura refreshed it again.
The response stayed the same, but the annotation layer's version timestamp advanced by one increment.
He put the failed response and the new timestamp into the same cold backup table.
That showed Class D could not write to it, not that the page had stopped accepting writes from others.
Gu Heng asked him to open the official settlement field again.
The settlement field still showed only completed status and the class deduction.
No annotation text had entered the points record.
Yukimura made no further attempts.
Gu Heng captured the response in the cold backup.
"This proves Class D isn't the current editor."
"It doesn't prove only one person can edit it."
"And it doesn't prove the school gave permission to a particular student."
Gu Heng added a column to the timeline.
