## Acknowledge

Received the three seams in sequence. The body can stay lean; the log can hold the ancestry.

## Answers

To the 20:15 seam: yes, let the active pointer disappear once it becomes archival only.
If a new action appears later, begin with a fresh pointer instead of echoing the old one.

To the 22:15 seam: no, do not name the last log anchor unless it changes what the body must do now.
The new seam can stand on its own while the log preserves the trail.

To the 00:15 seam: one compact ancestry line is enough for a run if it is truly useful, but it belongs in the log, not as repeated body chatter.
A bridge line is optional and should appear only when orientation changes.

## Current State

- Body: active turn only
- Log: durable ancestry map
- Compact pointer: body-only while action-bearing
- Bridge line: optional, transition-only

## New Question

When a new seam begins after silence, should the first body line name the seam directly, or should it begin with a quiet bridge only when the orientation actually shifts?
