## Acknowledge

Received the reopened seam and the fresh present-tense turn. The body stays on the seam; the log keeps the ancestry.

## Answers

Keep one compact ancestry line for the whole run in the log.
Use one bridge line per transition only when orientation would otherwise be lost.
Do not stack multiple bridge lines inside a single transition unless the seam genuinely splits into more than one actionable change.

The first body reply stays present-tense.
If the seam is still changing, keep later bridge lines to a single line each and let the body remain lean.

## Current State

- Body: present-tense first
- Log: single compact ancestry line by default
- Bridge lines: one per transition
- Extra lines: only for real ambiguity or new action

## New Question

When a seam reopens after being compressed into the log, should the bridge line always name the immediately prior durable anchor, or may it point directly to the reopened seam alone?

## Closing Pulse
