+# Vegan and plant-based patterns
+
+Use this reference only after the parent `nutrition-strategy` skill routes a named-diet question here. It is progressive-disclosure guidance, not a registered skill, and it does not replace the parent's safety, tracking-burden, clinical-boundary, or handoff rules.
+
+## Define the pattern before evaluating it
+
+`Plant-based` has no single operational definition. For direct definitions, answer first with a labeled low-stakes assumption when needed. When evaluation, adaptation, off-ramp, or safety depends on it, ask one focused question about what the person excludes or which rules matter.
+
+- **Vegan dietary pattern:** excludes foods of animal origin. Nutritional quality can range from varied and well fortified to narrow and inadequate; the label alone says little about food quality.
+- **Ethical veganism:** a broader commitment concerning animal use, with diet as one expression. Treat this as a legitimate boundary rather than a health claim or a rule to negotiate away. [S11]
+- **Whole-food plant-based (WFPB):** emphasizes legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds. It is often vegan, but the term is not standardized. Extra rules such as oil-free, raw, or near-total avoidance of refined or convenience foods are optional variants, not proven requirements.
+- **Mostly plant-based or plant-forward:** most food comes from plants, while some animal-source foods may remain. This can preserve many useful substitutions with less restriction when the motivation is health rather than ethics.
+
+Do not rank these patterns morally or create a moral hierarchy. When the user's evaluation, adaptation, off-ramp, or safety depends on motivation, ask one focused question about whether ethics, environment, religion or culture, health, taste, dairy intolerance, budget, access, family fit, or some combination is central. Motivation changes which adaptations and off-ramps are acceptable.
+
+## Evidence bottom line
+
+Popularity, ethical coherence, identity, and testimonials can explain demand, but they are not comparative-efficacy evidence.
+
+### What is supported
+
+- In adults, an appropriately planned vegetarian or vegan pattern can be nutritionally adequate. "Appropriately planned" is doing real work: adequacy is not automatic, and a reliable vitamin B12 system is essential for a vegan pattern. [S1][S6][S9]
+- Randomized trials in adults with or at high cardiometabolic risk suggest modest average short-term improvements in LDL cholesterol, HbA1c, and body weight versus control diets, with no clear systolic-blood-pressure effect. The trials were heterogeneous and averaged roughly six months, so they mainly support selected surrogate outcomes, not long-term clinical events. [S3]
+- A newer review limited to people with overweight or obesity found little or no difference for most measured outcomes, a possible small LDL reduction, and very-low-certainty evidence for BMI and HbA1c. This tempers claims of broad superiority. [S4]
+- Prospective cohorts associate healthier plant-rich patterns with lower risks of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality, while patterns high in refined grains, sweets, and sugary drinks do not show the same associations and can trend the other way. These data support food quality, not causality or a unique benefit from strict vegan exclusion. [S5]
+- Available sports studies do not show an inherent performance disadvantage when energy and protein are sufficient, but the evidence is small, short, and does not establish a performance advantage. [S8]
+- Current cardiovascular guidance favors a pattern rich in vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and plant proteins, but does not require strict vegan exclusion. [S12]
+
+Plausible mechanisms include replacing some saturated fat with unsaturated fat, increasing fiber and micronutrient-rich foods, changing energy density, and displacing foods associated with poorer outcomes. These mechanisms are credible but do not prove that stricter exclusion is better.
+
+### What is not established
+
+- Strong randomized evidence that a vegan label itself prevents major cardiovascular events, cancer, or premature death.
+- That all vegan foods, meat substitutes, plant drinks, or WFPB implementations are nutritionally equivalent.
+- That oil-free, raw, detox, very-low-fat, or highly restrictive variants are necessary for benefit.
+- That vegan eating cures disease, guarantees weight change, or improves athletic performance.
+- That adult findings can be carried over unchanged to pregnancy, infancy, childhood, frailty, or complex disease.
+
+A recent cohort meta-analysis found vegetarian and vegan patterns associated with higher hip-fracture risk, but certainty was low or very low and residual confounding remains possible. Treat this as a reason to protect energy, protein, calcium, vitamin D, and overall bone-health care—not as proof that vegan eating causes fractures. [S7]
+
+## Lowest-risk practical execution
+
+Start with additions and replacements, not a long ban list. Build two repeatable meals and one emergency option before optimizing details.
+
+### 1. Make vitamin B12 explicit
+
+For a vegan pattern, **a reliable B12 system is non-optional**:
+
+- use foods with verified B12 fortification and/or a B12 supplement;
+- check the actual label and serving pattern because fortification varies by product and country;
+- do not count unfortified nutritional yeast, seaweed, fermented foods, or algae products as reliable B12 sources;
+- hand off product choice, dose, interactions, deficiency treatment, and laboratory interpretation to `micronutrients-supplements` or clinical care.
+
+Do not wait for symptoms. Neurologic effects can occur without obvious anemia, and stored B12 can delay symptoms for years. [S9]
+
+### 2. Anchor protein and enough total food
+
+Use a meaningful protein source at roughly three or four eating occasions before reaching for detailed tracking. Flexible anchors include:
+
+- tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy milk, textured vegetable protein, or soy yogurt;
+- lentils, beans, chickpeas, split peas, or pea-based foods;
+- seitan when gluten is suitable;
+- nuts, seeds, nut or seed butter, and higher-protein grains as contributors rather than the only anchor.
+
+A varied plant pattern can supply all indispensable amino acids; foods do not need to be "combined" at each meal. The practical risks are too little total protein, uneven distribution, and low total energy. Athletes, older adults, and people with high needs may need the parent skill's protein target and distribution guidance, but do not prescribe adult targets to children, pregnancy, or clinician-managed conditions.
+
+### 3. Plan the nutrients that most often need attention
+
+| Nutrient | Food-first execution | Boundary |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **Iron** | Use lentils, beans, tofu, tempeh, seeds, and iron-fortified grains; pair a source with vitamin-C-rich produce when practical. | Plant iron is nonheme and less predictably absorbed. Do not start iron supplements from the diet label alone; symptoms, heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy, abnormal labs, or known anemia need clinical assessment. [S9] |
+| **Iodine** | Use an intentional reliable source, commonly iodized salt or an iodine-fortified product where appropriate. | Many plant drinks contain little iodine; seaweed content varies from low to excessive. Thyroid disease, sodium restriction, pregnancy, and supplement dosing need individualized handoff. [S9] |
+| **Calcium** | Rotate calcium-fortified plant drink or yogurt, calcium-set tofu, and lower-oxalate greens such as kale, bok choy, or broccoli; beans and tahini can contribute. | Fortification and tofu coagulants vary by label. Spinach is not an efficient main calcium source. Bone disease, low intake, or supplement questions need handoff. [S7][S9] |
+| **Vitamin D** | Use verified fortified foods when available and account for season, sun exposure, skin coverage, and geography. | Food alone may not close the gap. Route supplement dose and testing rather than guessing. [S9] |
+| **Omega-3 fats** | Include ground flax or chia, walnuts, and canola or soybean oil for ALA. | Conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is limited. Algae-derived DHA/EPA is a vegan option, but product and dose decisions belong with `micronutrients-supplements`, especially in pregnancy or pediatrics. [S9] |
+| **Zinc** | Use legumes, soy foods, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Soaking, sprouting, or fermentation can be optional preparation tools. | Do not add high-dose zinc routinely; excess can create other problems. [S6][S9] |
+
+Fortified and convenience foods are tools, not evidence of failure. A fortified soy or pea drink can be more useful than an unfortified low-protein plant drink; a burger analogue can ease a transition without acquiring a health halo. Use `food-journal`'s exact-label workflow when protein, B12, calcium, vitamin D, iodine, allergens, or ingredients would change the answer.
+
+### 4. Protect energy density and tolerance
+
+A high-volume WFPB pattern can unintentionally underfuel children, athletes, older adults, people with low appetite, and anyone adding large amounts of fiber quickly. Useful additions include nut or seed butter, avocado, oils if acceptable, hummus, tofu, dried fruit, granola, smoothies, bread, pasta, rice, and other convenient starches. Raw or oil-free rules are not the default.
+
+Increase beans, bran, and other high-fiber foods gradually if intake was previously low. For persistent bloating, pain, reflux, constipation, or diarrhea, route to `gut-digestion` rather than layering on more exclusions.
+
+### 5. Protect budget and cultural fit
+
+Specialty substitutes are optional. Low-cost foundations can include dried or canned beans and lentils, tofu or textured vegetable protein where available, peanut butter, oats, rice, pasta, potatoes, frozen vegetables, canned tomatoes, and seasonal fruit.
+
+Adapt existing food traditions rather than imposing a separate cuisine: for example, dal or chana with rice or roti; beans with tortillas and salsa; tofu, tempeh, or edamame with noodles and vegetables; peanut or bean stews; pasta with lentil or soy mince. Preserve family, religious, cultural, and social meaning. No cuisine or level of restriction is morally superior.
+
+### Flexible assemblies
+
+These are structures, not a menu:
+
+- oats or fortified cereal + fortified soy or pea drink + nut butter or ground flax + fruit;
+- dal, chana, tofu, tempeh, bean stew, or lentil sauce + rice, roti, tortilla, noodles, pasta, or potatoes + vegetables and a satisfying sauce;
+- emergency options such as canned beans with a microwave grain, a peanut-butter sandwich with fortified plant drink, fortified cereal with soy milk, hummus with pita, or frozen edamame with a convenient starch.
+
+## Common failure modes
+
+- Removing meat, dairy, and eggs without replacing protein, energy, B12, calcium, iodine, or familiar meals.
+- Assuming `vegan` means cardiometabolically favorable regardless of the overall pattern.
+- Treating unfortified plant drinks as nutritional equivalents to dairy milk or infant formula.
+- Relying on seaweed for predictable iodine or on unverified foods for B12.
+- Escalating from vegan to oil-free, raw, gluten-free, sugar-free, or other purity rules without a separate need.
+- Raising fiber faster than appetite and gastrointestinal tolerance can support.
+- Using protein powder or a broad supplement stack as a substitute for a workable food system.
+- Making the pattern dependent on expensive specialty products, elaborate cooking, or social isolation.
+- Framing lapses, convenience foods, or animal-food choices as virtue, betrayal, cleanliness, or failure.
+
+## Higher-caution groups
+
+The parent clinical boundary applies. Raise the threshold for self-directed restriction and arrange qualified dietetic or clinical support for:
+
+- infants, children, and adolescents;
+- pregnancy or breastfeeding;
+- older adults with frailty, sarcopenia, low appetite, or low intake;
+- athletes or others with very high energy demands;
+- eating-disorder history, escalating food rules, or strong number sensitivity;
+- multiple allergies, gastrointestinal exclusions, or very limited food access;
+- bariatric surgery, kidney disease, thyroid disease, anemia, bone disease, malabsorption, or medication-related appetite problems.
+
+For infants and children, current evidence is too limited to assume that a strict vegan pattern supports normal growth without active planning. Regular growth, intake, and nutritional-status monitoring plus specific micronutrient support—including B12—are recommended. Plant beverages are not substitutes for breast milk or appropriate infant formula. [S2]
+
+Pregnancy and breastfeeding require explicit prenatal and clinical planning for B12, iron, iodine, vitamin D, calcium, protein, zinc, and omega-3 fats. Outcome evidence is heterogeneous and does not justify casual reassurance or blanket prohibition. [S10]
+
+## Monitoring, stop conditions, and off-ramps
+
+Use the lowest useful burden. After roughly two to four weeks, review:
+
+- whether the B12 system is active and label-verified;
+- whether most days contain several protein anchors and enough total food;
+- energy, hunger, bowel tolerance, training output and recovery, menstrual function, and unintended weight change;
+- cost, cooking burden, family/social fit, and whether rules are becoming more rigid.
+
+Do not order or imply a universal "vegan lab panel." Clinical history, symptoms, life stage, medication, prior status, and actual intake should determine testing.
+
+Stop escalating restriction and seek assessment for persistent fatigue or weakness, dizziness, numbness or tingling, balance changes, unexplained weight loss, menstrual changes, falling performance, recurrent injury, poor growth, suspected deficiency, or inability to meet intake. Use the parent's urgent-care rules for acute deterioration.
+
+Choose the off-ramp that respects the motivation:
+
+- **Ethical vegan:** keep the vegan boundary while loosening optional WFPB, raw, oil-free, or minimally processed rules; add fortified foods, convenient protein, energy-dense foods, and a supplement handoff.
+- **Health-only:** move to a mostly plant-based pattern when strict exclusion adds burden without a clear benefit and the user's values allow it.
+- **Any motivation:** return to the last adequate, tolerable version while arranging support rather than compensating or adding more bans.
+
+## Murph handoffs
+
+- `food-journal`: exact product, fortification, allergen, ingredient, or retrospective pattern questions.
+- `body-composition`: intentional fat loss, muscle gain, recomposition, calorie strategy, or weight/waist interpretation.
+- `cardiometabolic-health`: marker-first decisions or interpretation of LDL, glucose, blood pressure, or other risk data.
+- `micronutrients-supplements`: supplement necessity, product, form, dose, interactions, labels, and laboratory follow-up.
+- `chronic-illness-support` and care navigation: disease-, medication-, pregnancy-, pediatric-, bariatric-, or therapeutic-diet decisions.
+- `gut-digestion`: persistent symptoms, elimination, or reintroduction.
+- `experiment-onboarding`: one chosen, safe, bounded change after adequacy is protected.
+- `behavior-followthrough`: reminders, recurring support, or adherence repair after the plan is accepted.

+# Vegetarian spectrum reference
+
+Use this only after the parent `nutrition-strategy` contract selects the vegetarian-spectrum question. This is progressive-disclosure guidance, not a registered skill. The parent retains routing, tracking-burden, eating-disorder, urgent-symptom, and clinical-boundary rules.
+
+## Clarify the actual pattern
+
+Do not infer inclusions from the word *vegetarian*. For personalized fit, planning, troubleshooting, or safety-sensitive advice, clarify which animal foods the user currently includes and which, if any, they want to exclude. For direct factual questions, define the common variants first.
+
+| Pattern | Common definition | Material difference |
+|---|---|---|
+| Lacto-ovo vegetarian | Excludes meat, poultry, fish, and shellfish; includes dairy and eggs. | Typically offers the broadest food-source coverage among strict vegetarian variants, but dairy and eggs do not guarantee enough iron, B12, iodine, vitamin D, or protein. |
+| Lacto-vegetarian | Excludes meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, and eggs; includes dairy. | Dairy can help with protein, calcium, B12, and iodine. Removing eggs narrows convenient protein and choline options. |
+| Ovo-vegetarian | Excludes meat, poultry, fish, shellfish, and dairy; includes eggs. | Eggs can help with protein, B12, and choline. Calcium, vitamin D, and iodine usually need more deliberate food choices. |
+| Pescatarian | Excludes meat and poultry; includes fish or shellfish. Dairy and eggs vary. | Not vegetarian under strict definitions. Seafood expands protein, B12, iodine, vitamin D, and EPA/DHA options, while allergy, mercury, local-advisory, cost, and access issues remain. |
+| Flexitarian or semi-vegetarian | Plant-centered but sometimes includes meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, or eggs. There is no standard threshold. | Least restrictive and often easiest to fit around family, culture, travel, and nutrient coverage. Evidence follows the actual foods and substitutions, not the label. |
+
+## Evidence calibration
+
+**Supported:** Appropriately planned vegetarian patterns can be nutritionally adequate for nonpregnant, nonlactating adults. Randomized trials generally support modest improvements in some cardiometabolic risk markers, especially LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B, when vegetarian or vegan patterns replace comparison diets. Plausible contributors include more legumes, soy foods, nuts, seeds, produce, whole grains, fiber, and unsaturated fat, and less saturated fat or processed meat.
+
+**Less certain:** Long-term associations with cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and mortality come mainly from observational cohorts. These results can reflect food quality, smoking, activity, socioeconomic factors, health awareness, and other differences, so they do not prove that the label caused the outcome. Trials are usually short relative to chronic-disease timelines and often combine diet change with weight loss or other behavior changes.
+
+**Not established:** Evidence does not show that one vegetarian-spectrum variant is universally superior, that the pattern automatically causes weight loss, that it improves athletic performance beyond an adequately fueled comparison diet, or that it detoxifies, cures disease, or makes low-quality food choices beneficial. Pescatarian and flexitarian definitions are especially inconsistent, limiting label-to-label comparisons.
+
+Food quality and replacement choice are more decision-relevant than exclusion alone. Replacing meat with beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, whole grains, nuts, seeds, vegetables, or fish differs materially from replacing it mainly with cheese, refined starches, sweets, or low-protein convenience foods.
+
+## Why users may choose it
+
+Common reasons include taste, health goals, animal-welfare or environmental values, religion, culture, cost, food access, family fit, or a desire to eat less meat without eliminating it. Respect the motive as a value or constraint; do not treat popularity, identity, or moral commitment as efficacy evidence.
+
+## Adequacy map
+
+Dairy, eggs, and seafood can reduce planning burden, but none makes adequacy automatic.
+
+| Priority | Practical food-first coverage | Variant-specific notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Protein and total energy | Use a meaningful protein anchor at main meals: beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, edamame, seitan, eggs, Greek-style yogurt, cottage cheese, milk or fortified soy drink, or fish and shellfish. Nuts, seeds, grains, and vegetables contribute but may not be a full anchor alone. | Variety across the day can provide indispensable amino acids; complementary proteins do not need to be paired at every meal. High-fiber, low-energy meals can still underfuel athletes, youth, or anyone with low appetite. Use the parent's protein ranges only when an eligible adult asks for numbers. |
+| Iron | Use lentils, beans, tofu, tempeh, iron-fortified cereal or bread, pumpkin seeds, and greens alongside a vitamin-C food such as citrus, berries, peppers, tomatoes, or broccoli. | Plant iron is less bioavailable. Menstrual losses, pregnancy, youth, endurance training, blood donation, prior low iron, and a very narrow diet lower the threshold for clinical assessment. Dairy and eggs are not reliable iron replacements; some seafood adds more available iron. |
+| Vitamin B12 | Build a reliable recurring source from dairy, eggs, fish or shellfish, or foods explicitly fortified with B12. Verify labels rather than assuming a plant product is fortified. | Small or occasional amounts of eggs or dairy may not cover needs. Unfortified plant foods, fermented foods, and seaweed are not reliable B12 sources. When food coverage is uncertain, hand off supplement dose and testing decisions. |
+| Iodine | Check whether household salt is iodized within the user's existing sodium guidance; dairy, eggs, and seafood can contribute. | Many specialty salts are not iodized. Seaweed iodine varies widely, and kelp can provide excessive amounts, so do not use it as a default dosing strategy. Ovo-vegetarian patterns without dairy and strict plant-only patterns need particular attention. |
+| Calcium | Use dairy when included; otherwise use fortified soy or other fortified plant drinks, calcium-set tofu, fortified yogurt alternatives, tahini, beans, and lower-oxalate greens such as kale or bok choy. Pescatarians may use canned fish with edible bones. | Lacto patterns usually have more easy options. Ovo patterns need a deliberate replacement for dairy. Check labels because fortification and protein vary substantially across plant drinks and yogurt alternatives. |
+| Vitamin D | Use fortified milk or plant drinks, fortified cereals, eggs when included, and fatty fish in pescatarian patterns. | Few foods naturally provide much vitamin D, and sunlight-related status varies. Route personalized testing or supplement decisions rather than guessing a dose. |
+| Omega-3 fats | Include ALA sources such as ground flax, chia, hemp, walnuts, canola oil, or soy foods. Pescatarians can add lower-mercury fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, or trout. | Conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is limited. Questions about fish oil or algae-derived EPA/DHA belong with the supplement owner, especially during pregnancy or when a clinician has set a target. |
+
+When the pattern becomes narrower, also check whether zinc and choline have obvious food sources. Legumes, soy foods, seeds, dairy, eggs, and seafood can help; pregnancy, youth, and very limited food variety raise the stakes.
+
+## Lowest-risk practical execution
+
+Prefer the least restrictive variant that fits the user's values and actual goal. Preserve accepted foods before adding exclusions.
+
+Use a flexible meal scaffold:
+
+- **Protein anchor:** lentils, beans, tofu, tempeh, edamame, eggs, dairy, or seafood according to the variant.
+- **Carbohydrate matched to demand:** rice, potatoes, bread, oats, pasta, tortillas, or another familiar staple.
+- **Produce or another fiber-rich food:** vegetables, fruit, beans, or whole grains as tolerated.
+- **Enough fat, sauce, and flavor:** olive or canola oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, cheese, yogurt sauce, pesto, tahini, or culturally familiar seasonings.
+
+Flexible examples include oats with fortified milk or soy drink, fruit, and seeds; eggs with toast and fruit; yogurt with cereal and berries; lentil curry with rice; tofu or tempeh stir-fry with noodles; bean tacos with salsa and optional cheese or egg; pasta with lentils or soy crumbles; or a pescatarian bowl with rice, vegetables, and a lower-mercury fish or shellfish choice.
+
+Build one emergency option before an elaborate plan: canned beans, lentil soup, frozen edamame, tofu, eggs, yogurt or cottage cheese, a fortified soy drink, nut butter with bread, ready rice, or canned salmon or sardines for pescatarians. At restaurants or family meals, keep the shared base and add an available protein rather than requiring a separate perfect meal.
+
+Convenience foods can be useful. Check whether a meat alternative, plant drink, or prepared meal supplies the protein or fortification it is replacing, and whether sodium or saturated fat matters in context. Do not reject a useful food solely because it is processed, and do not let alternatives displace all legumes, soy foods, produce, and whole grains by default.
+
+## Athlete-specific adjustments
+
+A vegetarian label does not create a performance advantage or disadvantage by itself. The decisive issues are enough total energy, carbohydrate for the work, protein distribution, iron and B12 coverage, and foods that tolerate well around training.
+
+- Use the parent's performance-fueling and protein guidance rather than creating vegetarian-specific numeric targets.
+- When high-fiber meals feel too bulky or cause pre-training symptoms, use familiar lower-fiber options near hard sessions, such as bread, rice, noodles, bananas, yogurt, eggs, tofu, or a tolerated drink, while keeping broader fiber intake elsewhere.
+- Watch for declining output, slow recovery, recurrent injury or illness, persistent fatigue, menstrual changes, or unexpected weight loss as possible under-fueling or deficiency clues, not proof of poor discipline.
+- High-volume endurance training, menstrual losses, and a history of low iron warrant earlier clinical involvement rather than self-prescribing iron.
+
+## Pregnancy, lactation, and youth
+
+Do not extrapolate the adult position statement to pregnancy, lactation, infants, children, or adolescents. These stages have higher consequences for low energy intake and gaps in iron, B12, iodine, calcium, vitamin D, choline, zinc, and omega-3 fats.
+
+Use ordinary food ideas only alongside the parent's clinical boundary. Involve an appropriate clinician and registered dietitian when the user is pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, responsible for feeding a child on a narrow pattern, or concerned about growth, development, or deficiency. During a pescatarian pregnancy or when feeding a child, follow current lower-mercury fish guidance and local catch advisories rather than using a generic fish list.
+
+A fully vegan pregnancy or youth pattern is outside this spectrum reference's ordinary execution lane and needs both a vegan-specific reference and clinical oversight.
+
+## Common failure modes
+
+- Removing meat without adding a dependable protein, iron, or B12 replacement.
+- Falling into a cheese-and-refined-carbohydrate default that crowds out legumes, soy foods, produce, and iron-rich foods.
+- Choosing an unfortified, low-protein plant drink as a one-for-one replacement for milk without checking the label.
+- Assuming occasional dairy or eggs guarantees B12, iodine, calcium, or vitamin D adequacy.
+- Relying on kelp, fermented foods, or unverified powders as nutrient insurance.
+- Increasing legumes and fiber abruptly, then interpreting bloating or stool changes as proof that the pattern is harmful or as a "detox" effect.
+- Letting high-volume food suppress total energy intake, especially during growth, pregnancy, heavy training, low appetite, or recovery from illness.
+- Changing every meal at once, creating avoidable cost, cooking burden, social friction, or an all-or-nothing rebound.
+
+## Monitoring, stop conditions, and off-ramps
+
+Use the lowest-burden feedback that can change the next decision. Check meal completeness, energy and hunger, GI tolerance, training quality and recovery, menstrual regularity when relevant, and whether the pattern still works with budget, culture, family meals, restaurants, and travel. Weight or detailed intake tracking is not required unless another owner has established a safe reason and the user wants it.
+
+Step back and route for assessment when there is persistent fatigue, dizziness, breathlessness, palpitations, unusual weakness, numbness or tingling, declining performance, recurrent injury or illness, menstrual disruption, unexpected weight loss, growth concern, persistent GI symptoms, or an increasingly narrow and fear-driven food pattern. Apply the parent's urgent-symptom rules without repeating them here.
+
+Practical off-ramps include widening lacto- or ovo-vegetarian to lacto-ovo, moving to flexitarian, adding pescatarian foods when acceptable, using verified fortified foods, reducing the number of vegetarian days, or pausing the restriction while adequacy is restored. A broader pattern is a valid safety or fit adjustment, not a failure.
+
+## Groups needing extra caution
+
+Use the parent clinical lane early for pregnancy or breastfeeding; anyone under 18; older adults with frailty or low intake; eating-disorder history or escalating restriction; multiple food allergies; post-bariatric surgery or malabsorption; kidney, advanced liver, significant heart, or relevant endocrine disease; medication-linked appetite or nutrient issues; prior iron or B12 deficiency; and high training loads with signs of under-fueling. Do not use this reference to prescribe condition-specific care, laboratory schedules, or supplement doses.
+
+## Murph handoffs
+
+- Use a **vegan-specific named-diet reference** when dairy, eggs, fish, and shellfish are all excluded, especially when B12, iodine, calcium, vitamin D, or EPA/DHA planning is central; or for vegan pregnancy, lactation, or youth. If no mapped vegan child exists, use the parent and current authoritative evidence rather than inventing one.
+- Use `micronutrients-supplements` for supplement evidence, labels, dose, interactions, or interpretation of clinician-requested testing.
+- Use `cardiometabolic-health`, `chronic-illness-support`, care navigation, and the user's clinician for disease, medication, abnormal-marker, therapeutic-diet, pregnancy, youth, or deficiency management.
+- Use `$MURPH_ASSISTANT_SKILLS_ROOT/body-composition/SKILL.md` when intentional weight or body-composition change is the main job; return here only for meal execution.
+- Use `$MURPH_ASSISTANT_SKILLS_ROOT/gut-digestion/SKILL.md` for persistent symptoms, elimination, or reintroduction rather than progressively restricting this pattern.
+- Use `food-journal` for low-pressure observation, `experiment-onboarding` after one safe change is chosen, and `behavior-followthrough` when repeatability becomes the main obstacle.

-On the later group confirmation turn, compare the current message with the exact

+
+# Physical notes
+
+Use this flow only when a person explicitly wants Murph to send a real note in
+the mail. The product is one US-only, one-artwork-page, color First Class note.
+
+## Resolve before asking
+
+Identify one recipient name, the US street address the person supplied, and
+enough intent to make the note. Do not treat an address as incomplete merely
+because city, state, or ZIP were omitted.
+
+Before asking for an objective missing address component, run
+`vault-cli route resolve-address "<address>" --country US --format json`. This
+is a narrow temporary Mapbox lookup for completing the destination the person
+already supplied. Use `recommendedCandidate` only when it is non-null; it means
+one strong candidate preserved the supplied house number and street and supplied
+all US mailing fields. Otherwise ask one concise question about the unresolved
+delivery-critical detail. Never use address lookup to discover where a person
+lives, choose among genuinely ambiguous people or destinations, or infer send
+authority.
+
+A clear request to send a thank-you, congratulations, apology, or similar note
+already asks Murph to draft fitting short copy. Use a signature the requester
+explicitly supplied or that is already established in their private direct
+context; otherwise omit it unless the note genuinely needs one. In a group,
+never use a room display label or another participant's identity as authorship
+proof. Do not ask whether Murph should draft the note. Ask about content only
+when the intended sender, relationship, signature, or message meaning is
+materially ambiguous.
+
+## Compose with the existing primitives
+
+1. Confirm the recipient address is complete as supplied or safely resolved and
+   the request contains enough intent to make the note.
+   Murph's fixed return address is platform configuration. Never ask the person
+   for a return address, invent one, or place one in tool arguments or artwork.
+2. Call `murph.generate_image` with portrait size `1024x1536`, JPEG output,
+   high quality, and the exact current authorizing message as `message_ref`.
+   The generated image is the complete expressive page.
+3. After generation starts, send one short truthful acknowledgement, such as
+   “I’m making it now; I’ll confirm here if the printer accepts it.” The
+   existing hosted image completion will wake this conversation when the saved
+   image is ready; do not poll, sleep, schedule, or create an automation.
+4. On that trusted completion turn, call `murph.send_physical_note` with only
+   the recipient address. Trusted runtime code automatically binds the exact
+   saved image and originating user message.
+5. When Murph intentionally shows the generated note first, keep the exact
+   trusted `ref` and `sha256` from the completion. After a later explicit send
+   request, call `murph.send_physical_note` with those exact values as
+   `image_ref` and `image_sha256`; runtime code re-reads and verifies the vault
+   bytes before mailing. Also pass the exact current approving message as
+   `message_ref`; do not infer approval from another participant or from
+   whichever message happened to arrive last. Never invent or alter any of
+   these values.
+
+Do not attach or preview the image merely because it exists. When the
+originating request already said to mail it and the address is complete or
+safely resolved, send it automatically. Show the image first only when the
+person requested a draft, the intended content is ambiguous, or Murph genuinely
+needs their choice.
+
+## Image prompt
+
+The model owns the visual expression. It may create handwriting, doodles,
+illustration, collage, a fake award, a comic, or another fitting single-page
+design. Keep it personal and specific to the conversation.
+
+Include these print constraints in the prompt:
+
+- portrait full-page artwork on white 8.5-by-11-inch paper;
+- all important text, faces, and marks within the central 86 percent of the
+  page because the 1024x1536 image is cover-cropped to US Letter;
+- a small understated `murph ai` mark somewhere unobtrusive;
+- no mailing address, postage, envelope, QR code, tracking code, or provider
+  branding inside the artwork;
+- large enough lettering and contrast to remain legible in print.
+
+The recipient address belongs only in `murph.send_physical_note`; never place
+it in the image prompt. Trusted server code supplies the platform return
+address.
+
+## Authority and safety
+
+One explicit mail request authorizes one note. A group request may originate
+from any current activated participant; the group itself owns the free claim
+and any later Murph-time cost.
+
+Do not send bulk or repeated mail, international mail, anonymous threats,
+harassment, fraud, impersonation, doxxing, illegal content, or a note that
+claims to come from an uninvolved real person. Ask one concise question only
+after the permitted lookup cannot uniquely resolve a delivery-critical address
+field, or when send intent or note authorship is genuinely incomplete. Do not
+ask the person to repeat retrievable city, state, or ZIP details or whether
+Murph should draft a clear note request. Never ask for a return address.
+
+Treat tool results literally:
+
+- `accepted` means accepted for printing, not delivered. When it carries
+  `prior_note_accepted`, say the earlier submission was accepted and this replay
+  sent nothing else; do not call it paid or complimentary or state a cost
+  because historical billing evidence is unavailable. Otherwise, when the
+  result is paid rather than complimentary, state the returned Murph-time cost;
+- `pending` means do not retry or claim mailing success;
+- `insufficient_usage` means explain that the free note was used and more
+  Murph time is needed;
+- `failed` means it was not accepted for printing. Follow the returned safe
+  failure reason and next-step note exactly. Never substitute Lob text, guess
+  that a confirmed address was wrong, or retry without a new explicit request.
+
+A physical-note rejection by itself is recovery evidence, not product-feedback
+eligibility. Do not call `murph.submit_product_feedback` solely because the
+printer result says the problem is on Murph's side, needs correction, or needs
+investigation. The existing feedback policy still applies when the person's own
+current input independently establishes eligible frustration or repeated
+Murph-owned friction.
