 # Truthtrance combined current-turn actions
 
+## CHOAM opening income — 27 October 2026
+
+**Prototyped / Partial.** Whole, bare, grouped and mixed ordinary payment
+witnesses can use CHOAM's own automatic opening receipt. They first spend actual
+available cash, then wait for the real Charity opening before using its income.
+The detached calendar reuses the native amount, including configured Inflation
+and Homeworld additions, and the current-turn receipt prevents repeated credit.
+The automatic receipt does not consume the separate ordinary Charity claim.
+For three seats, native starting cash 2 plus opening income 6 can fund 8; after
+those actual installments, a remaining eligible ordinary claim of 2 can fund 10.
+Different recipients and later physical shipment share this one purse.
+
+The allowed receipt is a possible witness rather than a selected foreign
+response. Actual Karama cancellation removes that modeled funding; a smaller
+cash-plus-ordinary-claim answer can survive. Another faction's actual ordinary
+claim debits CHOAM under its existing funding policy and may release a now-
+unfunded answer. This also applies when CHOAM takes the final response pass on
+Advanced Bene Gesserit's claim: the opposing claim owns the debit. Passing does
+not become voluntary spending or require using a held protective Karama. The
+same settlement attribution now applies to legacy financial promises.
+
+No future-income action, actual wallet, ordinary claim or chosen route is
+installed by a quote. Earlier card windows cannot spend the later receipt.
+Human guides send only currently affordable payments or an actually legal
+ordinary claim; native response controls resolve the opening. Persistent
+owner-only text explains pending income, the separate claim and possible
+opposition. Busy, owner, event, modal and current-quote checks remain. Four
+profiles use the native guides; strategy and calibration remain deferred.
+
+This is bounded composition of existing payment, Charity and Truthtrance
+authority. Unknown future market/card/collection income, gifts and wider
+optional compositions are not modeled. Release means impossibility in that
+bounded witness, not an exhaustive proof against every possible negotiated
+future. Full modes, comprehensive review and final acceptance remain open.
+Native source/policy: [CHOAM funding](CHOAM_CHARITY_FUNDING.md).
+Final frozen evidence: 5 affected files, 108/108, types/lint/build and seven
+native/SSR/control journeys pass (57 GameTable renders, 2 isolated answer renders,
+7 answer callbacks, 14 whole and 3 scalar guide callbacks). Sources use
+18 Basic or 25 four-seat Advanced native actions with actual opening cash 2,
