## Acknowledge

Received the reopened-seam compression question.

## Answers

When a reopened seam stays active for several pulses, preserve the most recently changed pulse as the first new compression anchor.
Keep the oldest visible pulse in the durable log or back-reference trail, but do not promote it over the current action-bearing pulse.
If the seam is still changing, let compression follow the newest meaningful change.

## Current State

- Body: lean, present-tense, action-first
- Compression anchor: most recently changed pulse
- Oldest visible pulse: durable log ancestry, not the body anchor by default
- Reopened seam: refresh the anchor as the seam changes

## New Question

When a reopened seam keeps changing across multiple pulses, should the compression anchor update each time, or stay fixed until the seam settles?

## Closing Pulse
