After five days survived, a jar appears on the title shelf. She wants
feeding — one click — every new day you reach, and the stamps are maxDay
based so replaying old days for the S never starves her. Fed within a
day, toaster-days earn +0.2 and the line 'The starter is lively — the
crumb held. (She did that, not you.)'. Three days forgotten and the jar
sulks, and the crumb knows. Five and she goes still: the button becomes
a funeral, and one click begins THE MOTHER (second of her name) — she
forgives, mostly. The deaths counter never resets. Station days (grill,
pan, cold, steak, eggs, poach) are honestly out of her reach.
Also hardened loadSave against non-finite numbers: NaN and Infinity
stringify to null, and one bad number was enough to rot every derived
stat downstream. Every numeric field now refuses them on the way in.
Verified live: jar born fed at maxDay, starved to a funeral, resurrected
as second-of-her-name (deaths=1 persisted), lively bonus fired on a
bruschetta (9.6 -> 9.8 with the line), sulk line at gap 3, save numbers
intact after the full arc.
