My freshness check went stale every time someone did the right thing

Automated excerpt

A row is fresh while the bytes it cited are still there and stale once they move or change, so a citation can go red instead of quietly rotting. So every legitimate layer addition turned nine rows stale at once, and the register spent its life red for the best possible reason. New bytes, new hash, rows green, carry on.
