C.28:4.2 - Question cards and support result

Use a local card when the question must survive beyond the current sentence:

LocalCausalUseQuestionCard:
  causalUseQuestionRef: CausalUseQuestionRef
  targetCausalityLadderRung: CausalityLadderRung
  causalUseClaimKind?
  comparatorOrCounterfactualRef?
  causalEstimandRef?
  supportedUse
  unsupportedUse
  nextCausalUseAction

Use a durable card only for a reusable or consequential claim:

DurableCausalUseQuestionCard:
  causalUseQuestionRef: CausalUseQuestionRef
  targetCausalityLadderRung: CausalityLadderRung
  causalUseClaimKind
  comparatorOrCounterfactualRef?
  causalEstimandRef: CausalEstimandRef
  potentialOutcomeContrastRef?: PotentialOutcomeContrastRef
  interventionOrAssignmentWindowRef?
  followUpWindowRef?
  outcomeMeasureRef?
  causalAssumptionRefs
  rivalCauseRefs?
  causalSupportComponentRefs
  commonThreatScreenRef?
  supportedUse
  unsupportedUse
  stopOrReopenCondition

When another pattern needs a stable conclusion, issue this small C.2.1 result episteme:

CausalUseSupportResult:
  causalUseQuestionRef: CausalUseQuestionRef
  causalUseClaimKind: CausalUseClaimKind
  targetCausalityLadderRung: CausalityLadderRung
  causalEstimandRef?: CausalEstimandRef
  causalSupportComponentRefs: CausalSupportComponentRefs
  commonThreatScreenRef?
  verdict: supported | bounded | unsupported | undecided
  supportedUse
  unsupportedUse
  limits
  evidenceWindowRef?
  reopenCondition

Its identity and reference follow C.2.1. A receiving decision consumes it under :4.9.
