1//! Post-session consolidation: a sealed ledger becomes a small set of
2//! proposals.
3//!
4//! Consolidation is where a conversation's worth of observations collapses into
5//! the handful of things actually worth writing down. Most candidates do not
6//! survive it, and that is the point — a system that stores everything it heard
7//! is a transcript, not a memory.
