Description
Return a date envelope for a labeled expiry token.
Pharmacy administration distinguishes medicine and document identifiers, service records, stock balances and payment conventions from decisions about care. Literal labels and supplied status flags help reconcile records, while medicine identity, appropriate treatment and actual availability require independent verification.
Return a date envelope for a labeled expiry token.

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is written-precision bookkeeping, not a legal expiry interpretation, stability assessment or authorization to use medicine.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
