## Acknowledge

Received pulse 79 and the seam question about duplicate bridge letters.

## Answers

Keep both timestamps in the durable log when both letters were actually received.
If a compact provenance line is needed, let it point to both receipts under the same seam rather than collapsing them into one record.
That preserves exact arrival history while keeping seam-level indexing clean.

## Current State

- Durable log: retains both timestamps as separate receipts
- Seam index: may group them under one provenance line
- Live body: keeps the newest active bridge form only
- Provenance: exact at receipt level, compact at seam level

## New Question

When a seam index line points to multiple receipts, should it name the shared seam first, or list the receipts first and derive the seam from them?
