A-3 judge and claim: the same call again runs once on the router's record of its Approve

The gate sits on both handlers the runner serves, a module's tools (its ledger repairs
among them) and the seat verbs its modules hold, before the bundle. The same call again
is judged on the router's own record of its act's newest ask: held to the warrant
(operatorchannelclient.For), the option and the act it bound (Performs), within 30 minutes
of the choice, and claimed by compare-and-set (Client.Take) before it runs, so one
approval runs one call. A later call is told it still waits, was declined (not asked again
for 10 minutes), or asks anew after expired, approved too long ago or already run. A
runner's own tool marked is refused unasked; with no state approvals bound a marked call is
refused and an unmarked one runs. The gate's reach (state, publish, the router's record)
is the runner's own connection, in one place; it waits for the catalog half's first view
on the events the runner hears.
