Would circulator change the assembly?

[isabelluo]

I have a genome assembly that was assembled carefully with Trycycler that was only one contig and yet uncircularized. Trying to circularize it with circlator, and annotating it and I found the result slightly changed.

Pre-circularization: Genome length 2948785 CDs:2733 hypotheticals:141

Post-circularization: Genome length 2948782 CDs:2732 hypotheticals:142

The following is my command: circlator all --merge_min_id 85 --merge_breaklen 1000 --threads 10 cas_124370.fasta cas124370.fastq cir_cas_124370

Why is there a subtle change on this? should I be concerned about the change on the assembly? I hope the slight changes is only mergning the ends but not changing anything else, since I used a really robust pipeline to assemble the genome using Trycycler and trust it more.
