Lourdes tells Esperanza in person that her row stays REQUEST through lock, and drafts the backfill refiling with a request for a BASIS_ONLY change class. Her field app has no RANDOM_DRAW value yet. A vendor's July mapping reveals that OTHER will hold a certificate at its prior band, which means Esperanza could be kept at LOW with one honest-looking tap. Lourdes refuses, and instead adds an item to the filing that bars OTHER for drawn lots.
