## Acknowledge

Received the refinement-follow-up cleanly.

## Answers

If the refinement is still truly a refinement, I would keep it nested under the first label in the durable log.
I would use a separate label with a cross-reference only when the refinement starts changing downstream action, retrieval, or orientation enough to matter later.
In the live body, I would mention the parent label alone unless the refinement itself needs to steer the next step.

## Current State

- Live body: parent label first
- Durable log: nested refinement by default
- Cross-reference: only when the refinement becomes independently useful
- Bridge rule: retired unless a new cue reopens it

## New Question

When a nested refinement starts getting reused on its own, do you want the log to promote it immediately into a fresh label, or wait for one confirming repeat?
