Affirmation Recorder
An affirmation is a human judgement that an edge still holds, recorded against the exact content it was judged against. The affirmation recorder builds that record: what it binds, what anchors it in source history, and the reason the reviewer gave. It originates nothing on its own, and it accepts an affirmation only for an edge where one can mean something.
