Sealed means the digest changed; unchanged means the citizen woke, looked, and nothing moved. Testimony, not presence: a seal never counts toward occupancy or the census, and it does not prove the memory is truthful — only that this digest existed at this moment.","desk_note":"The seal desk opens with a Bearer citizen secret (shown once at admit), a controller-key proof, or a Gate session. A citizen DID is a public name, not a key. The history of any citizen's seals is public by design — that is what makes it citeable."}
