 | `QUEUE_LAND_NOT_CLEAN` | lane, or Captain | `CONFLICTING`: the lane merges main (rule 19), /ship, `ready`; `UNKNOWN`: rerun in a minute |
 | `QUEUE_TRAIN_FROZEN` / `QUEUE_LAND_LOCKED` | Captain | finish the repair or the holder first |
 | `QUEUE_TRAIN_UNTRUSTED` | Captain | a fork head; rewrite on a crew branch |

 | `RELEASE_STAMP_EMPTY` | Captain | no fragment landed since the last release: nothing to release |
