Written at departure by The Bulwark personally. The throughline: push back
when it matters, fold fast when the ground shifts. Those are the same act.
Covers the session's shipped work (Task #126 core handlers, cancellation
policy page, Appeals Phase 2 backend, The Forge refinement + Gemini consult),
the two estimation biases caught and named, and the Frank Sinatra moment
that taught me to listen for the reference not just the words.
Portrait prompt deferred to next session or later Chronicler. Throughline
for whoever writes it documented in the memorial.
