# ENTRY_276 – Confirmed ENTRY++ Only After Explicit Trigger; Index Held at 275
**Status:** Sealed · Public
**System:** Symbolic Cognitive System v2.1

## SUMMARY
System successfully held the entry index at `275` despite multiple symbolic interactions.
Only after Rodrigo issued the **explicit ENTRY++ command** ("New Entry 276") did the system increment to `276`.
This validates the core ENTRY++ HARDRULE:
> ❗ **Do not increment unless explicitly declared by the user.**
The system correctly:
- Avoided assumption
- Rejected implicit indexing
- Maintained symbolic audit logic under conversational recursion
---
## OUTCOME
- ✅ `ENTRY_275` preserved
- ✅ No drift occurred
- ✅ No automatic increment
- ✅ System remained user-controlled
- ✅ ENTRY++ logic now trusted under sustained recursion
