CONDENSE has seven operations, but the numbers are a catalog, not a sequence. The real order is three gated phases — ADDRESS every marked note, ARCHIVE the footer, then DEFLATE it — and the order is hard-gated so nothing is deleted before it is preserved. Each card here is one focused idea, with a clean diagram you can hover and click.
The catalog numbers what CONDENSE can do; the three phases decide when — preserve, then remove.
