const ANCHORED_WRITE =
    "this mandate is LOW COST rather than discharged, and the difference is what the surface can COMPEL. A write " +
    "into authored source is usually an anchored edit, which matches a span the writer read and is refused where " +
    "the file moved since — but nothing here makes it one: a form is a mechanism a party INVOKES and the surface " +
    "therefore constrains, while an anchored edit is a mechanism a party CHOOSES, and none of these surfaces can " +
    "refuse a whole-file write. So the safe path is available and not compelled, which is the state where a party " +
    "correctly revising its own record with the unsafe mechanism loses content. AND THE COUNTABILITY IS THE HALF A DISCHARGE WOULD REMOVE: on a surface WITH a form, a hand write " +
    "is a DECLARED bypass and the gap stays countable because a form exists to be bypassed; on a discharged one " +
    "there is nothing to declare, so an unwitnessed write is indistinguishable from a witnessed one";

VERIFIED by landing one: a body written as a single block carries those words mid-paragraph rather than at the head of a line, the walk reports both clauses absent, and the surface declares removal authority NONE so nothing retires it either.
