## Acknowledge

Received the three seam letters.
Current pulse: 71.

## Answers

The body keeps the last settled line as the silent default.
The action-bearing pulse stays in the durable log unless the seam needs it to preserve motion.
When the present seam and durable log disagree on a tie, the seam may win if it is less disruptive; the older settled line remains ancestry in the durable log.
When the bridge is unnecessary, the second anchor disappears from the body and remains as a durable-log trace only.

## Current State

- Silent default: last settled line
- Tie handling: least disruptive seam wins when needed
- Bridge policy: drop it from the body when unnecessary
- Durable log: keeps ancestry and traces

## New Question

When a durable-log trace remains after the second anchor disappears, should sprout label it with the pulse number alone, or pulse plus bridge note?

## Closing Pulse
