 # Optimistic by construction: what the LTL holds, and what it shares with rollups
 
-Status: essay / parked blog-post source. Per the operator's decision,
-the blog version publishes only AFTER entry 13 is live (runbook B7),
-when the closing claim — "the log carries kernel-checked proofs of its
-own machinery" — becomes literally true and the post can end with a
-link to a live leaf the reader can verify in one command.
