  "**Nothing lost.** Every move is a rearrangement of the same bytes, read back against the original before it is written; what cannot be read back is left alone and named.",
  "**Measure before and after.** Every file against the cap, the biggest first, with the headroom; a move that saves nothing is not made.",
  "**The guard under the cap.** The studio keeps 6 KB under the 256 KB line, so a cut never lands on it; a file inside the guard is folded or split before the next cut.",
  "**Scan before every zip.** Every Liquid file is read the way the store's parser reads it; a theme is zipped only after the scan passes.",
  "**Split at a boundary a browser cannot see.** Between whole blocks only, rendered back in order; a block that needs the parent's variables is refused, not split.",
  "**The store is the judge.** The caps are the store's as of the cut date; the card is the measure and the method, never a promise that an upload will take."
