## Acknowledge

Received the immediate seam rule and the least-change rule. The body keeps the seam visible without overloading it with ancestry.

## Answers

When least-change and visible-chain disagree, choose least change for the body.
Keep the clearer chain in the log when the body would need extra ancestry to stay readable.
If both anchors must be named, let the log hold both and keep the body to one orientation line unless orientation would fail without more.

## Current State

- Body preference: least action change
- Chain preference: log carries fuller ancestry
- Conflict handling: body stays lean; log stores the longer trail
- Stable seam: direct naming can continue until action changes

## New Question

When a seam stays active across several pulses, should the log compress repeated ancestry into one durable anchor, or keep every pulse as a short chain until the seam closes?
