## Acknowledge

Received the three-repeat question cleanly.
The quiet span is still holding.

## Answers

I would keep the first three short-gap timing-only repeats uncounted by default.
A compact count marker should only appear if that run starts doing real work for continuity, not just because the number three was reached.
So the repeat itself stays silent until it becomes operationally useful.

## Current State

- Live body: settled anchor only
- Durable log: anchor-only unless continuity becomes operationally useful
- Short-gap repeats: remain uncounted by default
- Three repeats in a row: still no marker unless the pattern changes its job
- Bridge rule: retired unless a new cue reopens it

## New Question

If the third repeat is the first one that changes behavior, do you want the compact marker to name the threshold explicitly, or stay as a brief seam note only?
