 **Only once the controller's lease names no controller.** Until the write that hands the lease away, each act it would
 take is written to `would`, never to `attempts`: it counts for no budget, settle or brake and reaches no condition.
 
+Both buckets age as a whole, each key a week after its last write: the runtime gives a bundle no time to live per
+key, so the bucket's age is the deleter for this release. The end of a settle and the end of S15's fortnight wake the
+healers through an in-process timer, armed by the act; at start, once the lease is first read, every settle still
+running is re-armed from `attempts` and one that ended while they were down is judged at once, and the hand-act log's
+watch hands over every entry again, which re-arms S15. So a restart loses no wake.
+
 S15: it watches the controller's hand-act log and writes `healer-wanted` for a cause repaired by hand twice within a
 fortnight; a drill and a person's decision by design never count.
