  "why": "Trigger 5: a role line and an explicit wakes list. Machinery 2: the universal doors and a standard-library MCP server ride aboard, no engine of the seat's own. Law 5: the anatomy whole, §0–§9 with the limit, the faculty's law in §4. Portability 5: markdown and files, no server. Proof 2: the method is on record; no witnessed run is typed. A score moves only when the proof moves — a machine per seat is the road to 98."
