A.16.1:17.3 - Multi-direction state versus lineage fork
Several lane candidates or several low-articulation route-candidate hints may live inside one cue pack. That is still one cue-pack publication.
A fork happens only after distinct successor epistemes or project records are identified, with their preserved and lost content and any exact lineage relations. Making those epistemes available through the forms to an audience for a bounded use is a separate E.24.PUB claim. Practitioners should not treat pre-route plurality inside one cue pack as if it were already a forked lineage.
