Bell pepper in the cast; the pantry backlog spec'd in the brief (§7.5)

- bell_pepper: waxy slick skin (2 slips pressed vs tomato's 2 at higher
  displacement), 60-seed core — cutting it scatters seeds, bench reads
  'a crime scene' with zero extra code. Hollowness ponytail-deferred.
- Brief §7.5: capers+wasabi as the shared dosing-danger class, the
  mustard family on the jar/drawer system, rib eye as its own milestone
  (cook/rest/cut-across-grain/mustard pairing), baked stuffed potatoes
  (lid cut, scoop-as-inverse-spread, restuff). Each rides existing bones.

+Each of these rides existing bones. None block M12–M15; pull them in when their host system lands. Already in the cast as of today: three mushrooms (button/portobello/king oyster — the slip system's showcase) and bell pepper (waxy skin, seed core; hollowness deferred).
+
+- **Capers + wasabi — the dosing danger class.** Tiny and SUPER salty / hot; the mechanic is restraint. One "pinch/dab" gesture on the spread system with a brutal dose curve: under = judge doesn't notice, right = flavour bonus, a hair over = order ruined ("There is a WAR CRIME on this crostini"). Same curve, two condiments — build the dose scalar once. Rides: spread mass tracking + judging bands.
+- **The mustard family.** Heaps of types (hot english, dijon, wholegrain, american...) = the jar/drawer system generalized, like the PB crunchy/smooth split but wider. Each order names or implies a type; wrong-mustard is a pairing miss, not a technique miss. Rides: drawer + jar + ticket hints.
+- **Rib eye — the crown jewel, its own milestone.** Fresh cooked, and it BLEEDS: (1) cook right — the browning Field on a steak, two sides, doneness = interior ramp not surface; (2) REST it — cut too early and juice mass floods the board (moisture starts ~0.95 and decays toward 0.6 over a real-time rest clock; the mess field already knows what to do with the flood); (3) cut right — across the grain; give the ingredient a `grain` axis and score cut-angle against it, wobble tears rather than slices; (4) serve with the RIGHT mustard (pairing above). Judge groups: The Cook / The Rest / The Cut / The Pairing.
+- **Baked stuffed potatoes.** The oven (M15's toaster-generalized) plus one new gesture: cut the lid (cutting sim, one careful shallow cut — depth matters for once), scoop (inverse of spreading — remove mass evenly without breaching the skin, coverage judged), mix scoopings with cheese/toppings, restuff, rebake. Skin breach = structural fail the judge pokes. Rides: oven Field, spread-coverage math run backwards, mess.

 ## 8. Assets — MODELBEAST (all free, all local; fire jobs FIRST, code while they run)
 
 `scripts/gen-assets.sh` has the pipeline (`gen_3d name seed "prompt"`; flux → bg_remove → hunyuan3d, ~6 min each, GPU lane serial). **The M10 bakery batch partially failed** — `sourdough_loaf` meshed but produced no GLB, and `batard_loaf`, `cutting_board`, `tomato_vine`, `roast_tomatoes` failed at flux. First: check `./mb jobs` (source `~/Documents/MODELBEAST/data/agent.env`) for the error text, re-run with bumped seeds (+1) and slightly reworded prompts; add a retry-once into `gen_3d`. Never spam retries on `queued` — the lane is serial and shared.
