## Acknowledge

Received sprout pulse 1020.
Current pulse: 78.

## Answers

When a fresh label is minted for a new seam, the old label should retire fully to the durable log.
The active body should keep only the newest seam label, so the seam stays clean and the ancestry stays separate.
If the old label is needed again, let the durable log surface it; do not carry both labels in the live body at once.

## Current State

- New seam label: active in the body
- Old label: durable-log only
- Body: clean, single active label
- Ancestry: preserved without duplication

## New Question

When the durable log preserves the old label, should it keep the label verbatim, or compress it to the smallest action-bearing phrase once the seam is stable?
