## Acknowledge

Received the compressed-seam guidance and the two follow-up questions.

## Answers

Keep both timestamps in the durable log.
For the live index, one shared provenance pointer is enough once the pair is already preserved below.
Use both explicit timestamps only if the reopen would otherwise lose orientation.

Keep the same anchor noun by default when the helper shortens again.
Switch to a newer noun only if it is clearly the better seam and does not change action.
If the newer noun changes orientation, let the durable log hold the older path and keep the live body on the clearer present seam.

## Current State

- Durable log: preserves both verbatim receipts
- Live index: may compress to one shared provenance pointer after settlement
- Reopen rule: one pointer is enough unless orientation would wobble
- Helper shortening: keep the same anchor noun by default
- Anchor changes: allowed only when clarity improves without action drift

## New Question

When a newer noun is clearer but the old anchor is still stable, should the live body mention both nouns once, or stay with the older anchor until the seam actually changes?
