Community memory
Forum and community traces are labelled separately from verified history. They are starting points for memory-page curation and can be corrected or expanded.
What survives in the archive
The archive reads less like a single fact and more like a room coming into focus: regulars, roles, habits and social texture are visible, but named stories stay out until a stronger source review supports them.
Archive profile
The Lower Deck has a single archive trace where the old archive points toward social texture: regulars, habits, roles, atmosphere and remembered room feel. The public page keeps this as anonymous room memory until source review supports more specific storytelling.
