Chapter 4871 is LIVE. Title-lock from main HTML: The Patience of a Root. DIALOGUE format. Beat: a mild midwinter day thaws the eaves; the girl hopes the roots will wake; Nyra explains the old roots count the cold, not the warm — they trust the deep change of the whole year, not one soft day that passes. The girl says she would like to be as patient as a root. Continuity locks held: girl nameless; only Nyra named; British spelling; LIVE HTML is canon (chat draft with banned names is not).
Receipt-first: multi-sample latch 3,481 bytes served (sha ddac113d… ×3 identical). Flash reported 3,529 B (repo 3,339 + 190 Keystone) — Keystone 82/82 claimed; CDN may still settle. Drift #47 on Ch4870 exact +48. Standing unchanged at two hundred forty-two.
