What a contact knows of the boss

Nobody sees the boss's wallet, stash or standing as numbers. A contact knows the boss's money from what passed between them (what the boss paid, owes or sent them) and what they were told. A dealer knows the stock they sell from; the supplier knows what the boss bought. The debt is the lender's business: a fixer may know the boss owes and roughly how badly, since fixers know who is broke (Fixer); nobody else knows it unless told. Heat is felt the way the street feels it (more cars, the sky overhead, a raid next door); rep is what people say about the boss (Reputation and heat). This narrows the rule that a contact knows only what they saw, were told or could read (Texting) for the boss's own state; each contact's prompt carries the boss in these terms (talk.boss_line).
