CONSTRAINT / TOP-LOAD
Top load
Load is propagated through the contact graph, so a bearing limit is checked against the whole stack above an item rather than its direct neighbour.
max_top_load · cumulativeWhy it exists
Crushing is cumulative. A per-neighbour check passes exactly the arrangements that fail in a trailer.
What a useful refusal looks like
The engine returns the rule that refused, the item it refused, and the measured value against the configured threshold. It also states how strongly that is backed: proven, observed, inferred, or unknown because a search limit was reached first.
