Screen 2: Order / chain record
The assembled spine: the structured truth built from the 17-page pack
What this screen is
The structured record assembled from Screen 1. The order reference is the spine, it appears on
every document, so it is the thread key. Below it the chain is stacked as nodes: bale/lot →
processing leg (China) → shipping leg (sea) → finished good. Each node shows the documents
attached to it by instrument type and status. The two-leg reality is deliberately not collapsed
into a single Australia → India line.

Why two legs, not one line
The naive story is "Australian wool → India." The truth in the pack is Australia (origin) →
China (processing) → India (sea freight, via Colombo). Surfacing the China processing leg
honestly is part of what the chain-of-custody record is for. The narrative tension this
creates for an "Australian sovereignty" pitch is Dominic's product call, not the build's.
