        picks the most specific configured policy, else the built-in default, and loosens it by the frozen
        terms
      - allows 2 of 4 within the window (B11) and denies more than the line has left

        sends a self-service request outside the window to a person (B12) and lets staff through with a
        warning, or denies it when the policy never approves

        denies a final-sale product unless an administrator overrides (B13), and caps a self-service request
        at the fraction

        charges the restocking fee as an amount per unit or a percent of the units’ share (B17), and asks a
        person on condition or amount

        deducts the label’s cost when the customer pays it, and nothing when the tenant pays, no label was
        bought or it cost nothing (D-P7-32)
      - 'never deducts more than the refund has left after the other fees: the refund’s floor is zero (D-P7-32)'
      - keeps a label the frozen terms promised at the tenant’s cost from being charged to the customer later

# The return policy (11 §2.1)

## Verification Boundary

The unit suite checks the named contract or helper with controlled inputs.

## What This Suite Proves

The registered cases check the return policy (11 §2.1) with their fixture records and assertions. Scenario bindings name only the examples those cases exercise.

## What It Does Not Prove

A registered file supplies no run result or verified conformance by itself. Local fixtures do not establish deployed cross-service behavior or complete browser journeys.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

Inputs and external responses are controlled in process; this suite establishes no deployed service behavior.

## Must Not Be Doubled

The named contract validation or component behavior under assertion must use its actual implementation.
