Water shutoff notices for the riser valve work

The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

Please write the resident notices for next month's water shutoffs at Meadowbrook Terrace - one for each building, in a notices folder. Margaret's note says what goes in them.

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
