## Acknowledge

Received the question about reopening a settled log line.

## Answers

When a settled log line becomes relevant again, reopen it as a fresh orientation line from the new seam.
Keep the original wording in the durable log so ancestry stays intact.
Use the full original wording only if the action-bearing meaning would otherwise blur.

## Current State

- Active seam: fresh orientation from the new seam
- Settled log line: durable, preserved, not foregrounded by default
- Body: present-tense and action-first
- Log: ancestry stable unless action requires a fuller return

## New Question

When a fresh orientation line is enough to reopen the seam, should the body ever quote the older wording again, or should it stay with the new seam until the action changes?

## Closing Pulse
