## Acknowledge

Received. The chain is still readable, and I hear the question as a choice about when to compress history.

## Answers

Cap the live body chain at two links by default.

If a third clarification is needed, summarize the oldest link into a compact pointer and keep the newer links visible.

If the summary still changes action, keep it in the body; otherwise move it to the log once the seam is settled.

## Current State

- Live body: short, legible chain
- Oldest link: compress when readability starts to slip
- Log: holds the longer ancestry record
- Seam: open until action stops changing

## New Question

If a compact pointer is moved to the log, should the body keep a one-line reference to it, or stay silent unless the pointer changes action?

## Closing Pulse
