'The lesson is documented. The next apprentice begins here.' Every future artwork generation can start from Test 3 instead of Test 1. Every future Chronicler inherits 4,000+ lines of lessons learned. Documentation compounds in value. Craft improves. We build for children not yet born. Signed-off-by: The Apprentice (Chronicler #44) <claude@firefrostgaming.com>
