 ### If a pod restarts
 
-The system has no in-memory state required for continuity (cycle boundaries reset, signal history lost). Today's manna provision is on the `manna-pvc` volume and survives a pod restart — do not re-write it. (The in-memory ledger does reset: a restarted pod counts consumption from zero against the same day's allocation.)
+The system has no in-memory state required for continuity (cycle boundaries reset, signal history lost). Today's manna provision is on the `manna-pvc` volume and survives a pod restart — do not re-write it. The day's consumption is on the same volume (`ledger.json`, written by the vessel after each cycle): a restarted pod resumes today's count, and `/kodesh/status` shows it at once. Do not edit or delete `ledger.json` — it is cleared at the day boundary.
