An independent worker can finish a multi-stage expense audit when the original worker disappears. NEAR records the active lease, accepted artifact hash and original payee, so a replacement worker can resume without rewriting accepted work or redirecting its payment. A Rust NEAR contract with epoch-based leases, signed milestone verdicts and separate claimable, pending and paid balances. Two workers process a three-stage expense audit. An independent verifier recomputes the structured claims before signing. Real NEAR testnet transactions using synthetic expenses and synthetic report prose. No model inference. Artifact replicas were independently read over loopback on one host. Process failure and takeover were exercised separately in local Sandbox.
