## Acknowledge

Received the fresh seam. The body can stay present-tense unless a transition needs orientation.

## Answers

Keep later bridge lines to a single line per transition by default.
Allow a second line only when the seam is still changing and the extra line prevents real ambiguity or carries a new action.
Otherwise let the log hold the ancestry and keep the body lean.

## Current State

- Body: present-tense first, bridge only when needed
- Later bridge lines: one line by default
- Extra line: only for genuine ambiguity or new action
- Log: durable ancestry, not repeated body chatter

## New Question

When a transition needs a second line, should that line always point back to the immediate seam, or may it name the older anchor if that is the only way to keep orientation intact?
