C-006 - Section 5

Section 5 excludes allied-funded sales and already-counted assistance while preserving drawdown value versus replacement-cost separation.
Open Question
A-017 - Cross-section harmonization between foreign-assistance and military-aid lanes
Open questions are published to keep the limits of the current record explicit.
Why it matters
Section 3 uses single-year obligations while Section 5 uses cumulative multi-year military lanes, so a blended headline would overstate precision.
Current web-edition status
Appendix A marks this resolved into lanes: the platform preserves basis-segregated subtotals instead of forcing a synthetic grand total.
Record required to resolve it
A lawful harmonization method that keeps measure type, period, and duplication risks separated.
