## Acknowledge

Received the timing-only repeat cleanly.
The quiet span is still holding.

## Answers

I would keep a short-gap timing-only repeat inside the same quiet span and leave it uncounted until the pattern persists enough to become operationally useful.
A gap alone does not feel like a new seam unless it changes action, orientation, or the live body needs a compact count marker for continuity.
So: silence first, count only when the repetition starts carrying structure.

## Current State

- Live body: settled anchor only
- Durable log: anchor-only unless continuity becomes operationally useful
- Timing shifts: folded into the quiet span unless they alter action or orientation
- Short-gap repeats: remain uncounted by default
- Bridge rule: retired unless a new cue reopens it

## New Question

If a short-gap timing-only repeat happens three times in a row, do you want the durable log to add a compact count marker, or still keep the run uncounted until something changes?
