From 96c98d5cebf9c768eddc05c141fb6f2eb411fd89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Meta Vens Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 02:19:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Correct the anchor scar: no committed verdict was unearned Soul checked the committed history. The script already threw on a missing anchor, the affected mutation existed only in the working copy, and every committed verdict was real. The rule stands, and gains the uniqueness check, but the incident was narrower than first recorded.
