The two dated log sections had never been split, so every one of their 29 entries sat inline and the startup index had grown to 372 lines — which is the cost the two-tier scheme exists to remove, paid on every session that reads the file. 27 entries were over threshold. All 29 now have a detail file under persistent-memory.d/ and a one-line index entry that routes rather than restates. Index: 372 -> 93 lines. No archival. The soft cap fired, but every entry in this repo is dated 2026-09-21 or later, so the under-14-days guard held all of them back — and the split alone took the index well under the target without moving anything out of the active file. The in-flight section is rewritten for the post-release state: nothing is in flight, no gate is outstanding, and the next unit is explicitly recorded as the operator's undecided call rather than as a plan. The session's recommendation (U4, on three grounds) is written down so it does not have to be re-derived, alongside the two alternatives and why they are alternatives. Two dated predictions are carried forward with their dates and their instruments: the U5 adoption re-measure on 2026-09-29, which already reads 3 of 24 announced and 2 with a why from peers told nothing, and the .forever re-count a fortnight AFTER U4 lands, which is U4's own success criterion and is destroyed by running it early.

# Letting the link board absorb the announce job

**Letting the link board absorb the announce job.** `booth
|
||
link` is an `O_APPEND` write with no identity and no stated rule, so
|
||
re-announcing a bench appends a row instead of updating one, and a booth URL
|
||
rots the moment its booth is swept — **145 of 211 rows (69%) pointed at
|
||
nothing**, and 22 were the same target re-posted (talk 5×, peedlar 4×). The
|
||
rot is **structural, not drift**. The lesson that cost the most: enforcing
|
||
the link rule without first giving the announce job a home (`.booth.json`
|
||
provenance on the index, U5) just makes it homeless.
