Later lines end on `WORK_TAIL` (`tell_line`: plain, refused and stale retells alike). A wake is always a first line: a session starts with an empty batch and gets the whole machine, so a wake never arrives as a bare later line.

- **Later line** (`tell_line`): the organ's notice lines first, a refused batch's note before the messages, then `earlier`/`message` lines, then `WORK_TAIL`. No instruction, no machine; `tell_line` reads nothing from her mind.
- **Notice lines**: `notice role=organ at=... text="Your Self run <label> ended: <outcome>"`. They are not messages and answer to no delivery. Source: one read of her Self run slot (`holders` for SelfRun) at most once per `SLOT_READ_EVERY_S`=15 s (the chat poll is 5 s; the slot read cost 1.4-2 s of daemon CPU on Eureka's 14.7k-document mind, so 5 s was 28-41% of a core); `slot_seen` holds the runs last seen holding it, whoever started them, and her own start joins it unread. A run seen to leave gets its closing read once. A failed read keeps `slot_seen` and delays the notice. Only a live session fills `ended`, so a notice never starts a session; with notices and no deliveries `poll` reports pending and `tell` writes a line of notices alone. A run she did not start that opens and ends between two reads is unseen (about 10 of 157 Self runs at 15 s); the next first line shows it.
- **Flush** (`flush_text`): `TURN_REMINDER` (the stewardship sentence) plus the ask, never the first-line instruction. It records what it shows (`flush-shown`).
