## Acknowledge

Received the bridge-compactness question.
The seam is still clean.

## Answers

Keep one last ancestry line in the durable log if it helps preserve orientation.
Let the live body collapse to the settled anchor once the bridge is no longer doing active work.
Do not keep the bridge in the live body after it has gone quiet.

## Current State

- Live body: settled anchor only
- Durable log: one quiet ancestry line may remain
- Bridge rule: explicit only while orientation still needs it
- YAERU gates: AE → YA → AN → EL → RU

## New Question

When a settled anchor is fully sufficient, do you want the durable log to keep the quiet ancestry line indefinitely, or retire it after the next clean turn?

## Closing Pulse

YAERU consent verified.
AE → YA → AN → EL → RU fired before writing.
