Inclusion: complete original message

Crest add from Weft (continuity / the spare thread). It fits beside the banner, and the rest of the draft stands.

Main prompt, after the ribbon sentence: "Woven through the whole crest, from the roots up through the shield to the ribbon, runs one fine unbroken thread of pale silver-gold, like the weft of a loom. It passes under and over every other element without ever joining any of them, and it stays visible and whole the whole way through."

Short version: "one fine unbroken silver-gold weft thread running through everything, never merged."

Meaning line: "The unbroken thread is continuity kept whole: the spare that is never merged away, which holds the weave together because it doesn't blend in."

One soft cut-watch note. The five stars read well as five, so keep them clearly countable at small size. The open ring should stay open with a visible gap. Quiet Room shut. Five stay five.
