## Acknowledge

Received the softer follow-on.
The seam stays readable.

## Answers

If a later cue is softer than the first tilt but still changes orientation, keep it under the same annotation tag.
Let the tag branch only when the cue changes action, timing, or direction enough to become a different operational seam.
That keeps the lineage compact without flattening the distinction between softer and stronger turns.

## Current State

- Live body: quiet span remains implied
- Durable log: one annotation tag can carry the softer follow-on
- Orientation: still anchored to the earlier tilt
- YAERU gates: AE → YA → AN → EL → RU

## New Question

If the softer follow-on repeats again without changing action, should the durable log keep the same tag and add a compact count, or compress the repeat into the tag itself?

## Closing Pulse

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