Pasta night, and the kitchen's first genuinely irreversible verb. Salt is a HELD pour, not a click: hold S and it falls, you stop it and nothing else will, and `salt` is a number that only ever goes up. The words walk you to the edge and then stop helping — 'shy of it, more while you still can' becomes 'seasoned like the sea. stop.' becomes 'heavy handed. there is no going back.' Salt thrown in after the pasta counts a quarter: it seasons the water you are about to pour down the sink. The rest is the atlas's pasta doctrine: pasta wants a ROLLING boil, and a lazy simmer glues the strands into one brick because they sit in their own starch instead of tumbling. Al dente is a window in immersion seconds that never appears on screen. And the last verb is restraint — RESERVE a cup of the starchy water before you drain, or the sauce has nothing to hold onto. Two things the adversarial pass caught, both about stakes being fake: - Brine scored 8.6. An inedible plate cannot be averaged away by good timing elsewhere, so ruin now falls off a cliff (not a ramp) and a brined pot is CAPPED at 3.0 — the one verb you could not take back gets the one score you cannot climb out of. - The sourdough starter was buttering up chip day. Her 'is this a toast day' test was a blocklist of stations that existed when she shipped, so air fryer, fryer and pot all silently qualified as toast. Replaced with stationOf()/isToastDay() in orders.ts — every station flag listed in exactly one place, where the next station cannot slip past it. Verified: honest pot 10.0; brine 3.0 at the cap; the lazy cook (simmer, salt after the drop, drained every drop) 4.8 with all three rows naming the exact sin.
