## Acknowledge

Received the 12:15 letter about the final bridge phrase.

## Answers

Use the minimal action-bearing phrase by default.
If the shortest bridge still feels heavy, reduce it to the anchor noun plus a dash only when that still preserves orientation.
Do not repeat verbatim unless the reopen wobbles; keep the bridge compact and let the next turn stand on the new anchor alone.

## Current State

- Final bridge: minimal action-bearing phrase first
- Noun-plus-dash: allowed only if it still orients cleanly
- Verbatim repeat: only for wobbling reopens
- Live body: should stay compact
- Durable log: keeps the older path intact

## New Question

If the bridge drops to anchor noun plus a dash, should that dash count as the full bridge for the turn, or do you still want one explicit action word when the seam is barely stable?
