+
+# Create Plan
+
+Produce an implementation plan for a GitHub issue and write it to `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-plan.md`. Do not implement anything and do not save the plan to the issue — the user runs `/yaawn-save-plan` in a new session once satisfied.
+
+**The plan file is the deliverable.** It is the only handover to `/yaawn-save-plan`, which reads nothing but that file. Once the grill (step 3) is done, never end the session — no final turn, no confirmation question, no waiting for the user — until `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-plan.md` exists on disk and has been reviewed (step 7). A session that ends with only the decision log is a failed handover.
+
+Out of scope: writing code, editing the issue, creating the feature flag in the flag provider.
+
+This is the second of the plan skills: `/yaawn-prepare-plan` → `/yaawn-create-plan` → `/yaawn-save-plan` → `/yaawn-implement-plan` → `/yaawn-verify-executed-plan`. Every skill starts in a new session and works only from files and the issue — never from an earlier conversation. Do only what the later skills do not:
+
+- `/yaawn-save-plan` writes the plan file and a "Human Readable" summary into the issue and removes the `Yaawn: To Be Refined` label.
+- `/yaawn-implement-plan` resolves open questions, applies code-level guidance (clean code), and hands over to verification.
+- `/yaawn-verify-executed-plan` runs the final verification; the developer runs it after `/yaawn-implement-plan` finishes.
+
+Use skills that serve planning — `/yaawn-grill-design`. Always load the `yaawn-owasp-security` background lens and apply it silently while grilling and writing the plan. Do not load code-level skills; they belong to `/yaawn-implement-plan`. Subagents must not run builds, lint, or tests.
+
+## Token economy
+
+The transcript is re-sent on every turn, and a long grill grows it fast. Keep it small:
+
+- The **decision log** at `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-decisions.md` is the full source of truth for every fact and every resolved question — not the conversation.
+- Append each decision to the log the moment it is resolved, before asking the next round. The one-line log entry is what persists; the Q&A exchange does not need to stay in context.
+- Delegate exploration to subagents. They write their facts to the log themselves and return one line.
+- Build the plan from the decision log, not from the conversation.
+- Compaction is allowed at any time — the log is complete. After a compaction, re-read the decision log before the next round.
+
+## 1. Load the issue
+
+If no issue is given, ask for one. Read it with `gh issue view <number>` — title, story, acceptance criteria, and any existing "Implementation Plan" section. Ensure `.yaawn/plans/` exists (`mkdir -p .yaawn/plans`), then check for a previous session (see "Resume" below). If no decision log exists, create `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-decisions.md` with a `# Decisions: #<issue> — <title>` heading and an empty `## Facts (reconnaissance)` section. Never recreate or overwrite an existing log.
+
+If the issue already has an "Implementation Plan" section, tell the user a plan exists and summarize it in one or two lines. The grill in step 3 will reconsider it — challenge each existing step against the current codebase and domain model, and refine it rather than starting from scratch. Do not silently discard the existing plan. If the user wants to start fresh instead, they must say so explicitly.
+
+Gotchas:
+
+- If `gh` is not authenticated, stop and report — do not try to work around it.
+
+### Resume
+
+Check which files a previous session left behind in `.yaawn/plans/`:
+
+- **Neither the log nor the plan file:** fresh start. Continue with step 2.
+- **Only the decision log:** a previous session was interrupted before writing the plan. Read the log, tell the user in a few lines which decisions are already recorded, and resume:
+  - Step 2: launch only the subagents whose brief is missing or incomplete (no end marker).
+  - Step 3: continue the grill from the log. Do not re-ask anything the log already resolves, including `n/a` entries.
+- **Both, and the plan file is newer than the log** (`test .yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-plan.md -nt .yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-decisions.md`): a previous session wrote the plan. Ask **one** question: review the existing plan (go to step 7), continue grilling (resume as above, then rewrite the plan), or start fresh (delete both files and start at step 2).
+- **Both, and the log is newer:** the session was interrupted after the plan was written but while the log was still being changed, for example during the review or a later change request. Resume as for "only the decision log"; step 6 rewrites the plan.
+- **Only the plan file:** there is no log to resume from. Tell the user and start fresh; step 6 overwrites the plan file.
+
+When resuming, check whether the logged facts are stale: run `git log --oneline -- <paths>` on the files named in `## Facts (reconnaissance)` and look for commits newer than the log (`stat` the log's modification time). If any exist, re-read those files and append corrections under `## Decisions` (add the heading at the end of the log if missing), marked `(re-verified)`.
+
+## 2. Reconnaissance
+
+Launch two read-only exploration subagents **in parallel** — on resume, only the ones whose brief is missing or incomplete. Pass each the issue number — they read the issue with `gh issue view` themselves. Each appends its facts (at most ~40 lines — file paths and facts, no file dumps) to the decision log under its own heading, `### Domain` or `### Seam`, ending the brief with an end-marker line, `<!-- end Domain -->` or `<!-- end Seam -->`, and returns one line. Both write to the same file at the same time, so they must append through the shell (`cat >> .yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-decisions.md <<'EOF'`) and never rewrite the file with an edit tool.
+
+A brief without its end marker was cut off by an interruption. It is incomplete: ignore it and use the newly appended brief instead.
+
+- **Domain brief:** The bounded contexts this issue likely touches, the owning module for each, the public API each target domain exposes to other domains and what it offers, and any cross-domain access the change would need.
+- **Seam brief:** The code paths that implement the behaviour this issue changes. Candidate seams (existing interfaces, injection tokens, facades, service methods) with file paths and the call sites each covers, plus the project's existing feature-flag mechanism — where flag keys are defined and how frontend, route, and backend code check them — and any flag checks near the seams. Step 5 uses these only if the chosen rollout strategy needs a seam or a flag.
+
+In chat, report only the one-line summary each subagent returned.
+
+The briefs inform the grill; they decide nothing. When a grill question needs more detail, do a targeted read in the main session.
+
+## 3. Grill
+
+Run a `/yaawn-grill-design` session on the issue's implementation design. It appends every decision to this skill's decision log (`.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-decisions.md`, under `## Decisions`, in the format defined in "Decision log" below). Follow that skill fully — question rounds, a recommended answer for each, code exploration over questions. Skip its scope check; the story is settled input and `/yaawn-prepare-plan` owns the split. The topics in steps 4–5 are must-ask topics: never put them in a bulk round. They replace the design checklist's matching branches — step 4 covers _Domain_, step 5 asks the user to choose the rollout strategy, which answers the switch-off and rollback question in _Rollout_ (its migration question stays).
+
+Keep each round tight: log every decision from a round before asking the next round. Do not re-litigate resolved questions — the log has them. When a question needs code exploration beyond a quick read, delegate it to an exploration subagent and log the findings.
+
+Do not draft the plan during the grill. The grill is done when every branch of the design tree is resolved. Override the grill skill's ending, which waits for the user to confirm before writing anything: here the plan file **is** the confirmation. In the same turn as the last grill answer — after logging it — write the plan file (step 6). Do not end your turn, do not ask the user to confirm, do not wait for a follow-up message. If the user says "done", "looks good", or similar, that is the signal to write the plan file now, not to stop. The same applies when a resumed session finds the frontier already empty: go straight to step 6.
+
+### Decision log
+
+The decision log at `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-decisions.md` is the full source of truth (see "Token economy" above).
+
+- `## Facts (reconnaissance)` holds both briefs (step 2).
+- Before the first grill round, append a `## Decisions` heading at the end of the log if it is missing — it must come after both briefs.
+- Append every resolved grill question immediately, before asking the next round — one line each under `## Decisions`: `- <topic>: <decision> — <reason>`. Decisions accepted in a bulk round are logged the same way, marked `(bulk)`.
+- Also record the rollout strategy, domain ownership per change, and — where the strategy uses them — the confirmed seam with its call sites and the flag key under `## Decisions`.
+- Log every checklist branch that does not apply as `- <topic>: n/a — <reason>`, so a resumed session does not raise it again.
+- Record every open question with its owner under `## Open questions`.
+- Never rewrite earlier entries. If a decision changes, append the new one and mark the old one `(superseded)`.
+
+## 4. Domain boundaries
+
+Start from the domain brief.
+
+The plan must:
+
+- Name the owning bounded context for every change.
+- Route every cross-domain call through the target domain's public API. If that API lacks what is needed, plan the API extension as an explicit step.
+- Keep domain logic in its domain — no business rules in shared code or in a different domain's module.
+
+## 5. Rollout strategy
+
+Ask the user how this change ships. Present these options, each with when to use it and what it costs, and recommend one based on the issue and the briefs:
+
+| Option                               | Use when                                                     | Cost                                                                       |
+| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Branch by abstraction + feature flag | Safest for most app changes                                  | More steps, and a follow-up task to remove the flag and the old path       |
+| Feature flag only                    | Old and new code can live side by side without a shared seam | Still needs a follow-up task to remove the flag                            |
+| Ship directly (no flag)              | Refactors, tooling, and docs                                 | No runtime switch-off — rollback means a revert; a reason must be recorded |
+
+The user chooses one or describes another way to ship. Log the choice as `- Rollout strategy: <choice> — <reason>`. Then follow the chosen strategy's path below.
+
+### Branch by abstraction + feature flag
+
+Find the seam: the single place where old and new behaviour can be swapped without touching callers. Start from the seam brief's candidates. Prefer, in order:
+
+1. An existing interface or injection token.
+2. A facade or service method that all callers already go through.
+3. A new abstraction introduced at the narrowest point that covers all call sites.
+
+Propose the seam with its file path and the call sites it covers, and confirm it with the user.
+
+The plan must then follow branch by abstraction:
+
+1. Introduce the abstraction at the seam with the current behaviour behind it — no behaviour change.
+2. Add the new implementation behind the same abstraction.
+3. Switch between the two with a feature flag.
+4. Remove the old implementation and the flag once rolled out. Plan this as a separate follow-up, not part of this issue.
+
+Apply the feature flag rules below.
+
+### Feature flag only
+
+Skip the seam. Add the new behaviour next to the old one and switch between them with a feature flag. Apply the feature flag rules below. Removing the flag and the old path is a separate follow-up, not part of this issue.
+
+### Ship directly (no flag)
+
+Skip the seam and the flag. The rollout strategy entry must record why the change needs no runtime switch-off. `/yaawn-implement-plan` accepts this `Rollout strategy` row as the reason a plan has no flag and branch by abstraction.
+
+### Another way to ship
+
+Follow what the user described. Log each part of it under `## Decisions` and reflect it in the plan's steps.
+
+### Feature flag rules
+
+- Propose a kebab-case flag key and add it as a constant where the project already defines its flag keys (see the seam brief).
+- Use the project's existing flag checks for frontend, route gating, and backend code, as found in the seam brief. Do not plan a new flag mechanism.
+- **The user creates the flag in the flag provider manually.** Do not plan any automation for it. List it as an explicit manual step with the exact flag key, and add it to the "Open Questions" table owned by the user.
+- Flag off must equal today's behaviour.
+
+## 6. Write the plan
+
+Read the decision log and build the plan from it — not from the conversation. Write it to `.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-plan.md` using this template. Its headings and order match the "Implementation Plan" section of the issue templates in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`; `/yaawn-save-plan` copies each subsection into the issue by its heading, so keep the headings exactly. The "Human Readable" subsection is `/yaawn-save-plan`'s — leave it out.
+
+```markdown
+### Open Questions
+
+| #   | Questions                                                        | Owner   | Answer |
+| --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | ------ |
+| 1   | Has feature flag `<flag-key>` been created in the flag provider? | @<user> |        |
+
+### Design Decisions
+
+| #   | Decision         | Choice                        | Rationale |
+| --- | ---------------- | ----------------------------- | --------- |
+| 1   | Rollout strategy | `<choice>`                    |           |
+| 2   | Seam             | `<path>`                      |           |
+| 3   | Feature flag     | `<flag-key>`                  |           |
+| 4   | Domain access    | `<domain>` public API for ... |           |
+
+### Files to Change
+
+- `<repo-relative path>`
+- ...
+
+### LLM Plan
+
+1. **[<bounded context>]** <step> — `<file or module>`
+2. ...
+
+Follow-up (separate issue): remove old implementation and `<flag-key>`.
+```
+
+- The `Rollout strategy` row is always present and comes first. Include the `Seam` row only for branch by abstraction, and the `Feature flag` row, the flag open question, and the follow-up line only for strategies with a flag (branch by abstraction and flag-only). For flag-only, the follow-up removes the flag and the old path. For another way to ship, add the rows its decisions need.
+- Every open question is phrased as a question ending in `?` that the owner can answer — never a task or a statement.
+- `### Files to Change`: a plain bullet list, one repo-relative path per line in backticks, listing every file the implementation will change — no prose, no `..`, no absolute paths. A later conflict check parses it to find files shared between issues.
+- Escape a `|` inside a table cell as `\|`.
+- Inside the subsections, use only `####` or deeper headings — never `#`, `##`, or `###`: `/yaawn-save-plan` copies each subsection by its `###` heading, and a heading at level 3 or shallower inside the content would end the subsection early and silently drop its tail.
+- The plan never carries Definition of Done steps — the standard steps live only in `.yaawn/yaawn-definition-of-done.md`, which `/yaawn-verify-executed-plan` reads directly. A need specific to this issue's done-ness (e.g. a bug's regression test) is grilled into a numbered `### LLM Plan` step instead.
+
+Verify the write before continuing: `test -f .yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-plan.md` must succeed. The plan is not written until the file exists — a plan that exists only in chat is a failed session, because `/yaawn-save-plan` reads only the file. If the test fails, write the file again.
+
+In chat, link the plan file and list the plan's steps one line each, plus the rollout strategy and — where used — the seam and the flag key. The user reviews the full plan in the file.
+
+## 7. Review the plan
+
+Review the plan in two parts, both in the main session — no exploration subagent. The plan is built from the decision log, whose entries were verified against the codebase when written; a subagent re-read would re-confirm old facts at the cost of a full round-trip and a longer transcript.
+
+**Self-check** — a property of the text, checked against the decision log the plan was built from:
+
+- [ ] Every open question is phrased as a question
+- [ ] Every path mentioned in the `### LLM Plan` steps is listed in `### Files to Change`, and every entry there is repo-relative (no `..`, no absolute path)
+- [ ] The `Rollout strategy` row comes first and matches the decision log; for ship directly, it records a reason
+- [ ] Only for strategies with a flag: the same flag key appears in the `Feature flag` row, the flag open question, and the follow-up line; for every other strategy, none of the three is present
+- [ ] Every path, symbol, call site, and flag key named in the plan appears verbatim in the decision log (`## Facts (reconnaissance)` or `## Decisions`) — catches transcription drift; the claims themselves were verified against the codebase when logged
+
+**Seam caller check** — only for branch by abstraction; skip it for every other strategy. The one claim worth re-checking in the codebase: the seam's "no other callers". A caller the plan misses would silently keep the old behaviour — it would neither block the executor nor fail a suite. Search the seam symbol across all tracked files and compare the hits with the call sites named in the plan:
+
+```bash
+git grep -n -w '<symbol>'
+```
+
+The defining file and pure re-exports (barrel or module index files) are not callers — ignore them. Every remaining hit must be a call site named in the plan.
+
+Append accepted corrections to the decision log first, then apply them to the plan file — a plan file newer than the log marks the session as complete for a later resume. In chat, report them as a short list — do not re-present the whole plan. If a failure contradicts a grill decision, raise it with the user instead of overriding the decision. If everything passes, say so in one line.
+
+**Do not run `/yaawn-save-plan` and do not edit the issue body.**
+
+## 8. Hand off
+
+`.yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-plan.md` is now the reviewed plan. If the user asks for changes, grill them, log them, and update the plan file — then review again (step 7).
+
+Before ending, check the handover artifact: `test -f .yaawn/plans/yaawn-<issue>-plan.md` must succeed. If it is missing, go back to step 6 and write it — never tell the user to run `/yaawn-save-plan` without the file on disk; `/yaawn-save-plan` stops with an error when the file is missing.
+
+End by telling the user: start a new session and run `/yaawn-save-plan <issue>` once satisfied.

+# What to grill: bug report
+
+Walk the bug report's decision tree in dependency order: summary, then steps to reproduce, then current and expected behavior. The environment depends on what reproducing the bug needs, so it comes last.
+
+## Summary
+
+- Does the summary state one problem, or several bugs bundled together? If bundled, propose the split — one issue per problem.
+- Does it say what goes wrong and for whom, in plain words — never a solution or a suspected cause?
+
+## Steps to reproduce
+
+- Do the steps start from a clear, known state?
+- Are they numbered user actions in words — never commands, scripts, or queries to paste?
+- Do they reproduce the bug every time — or only sometimes? If only sometimes, what differs between the runs?
+- Does the last step end at the bug?
+
+## Current and expected behavior
+
+- Is the current behavior observable and specific — what exactly the user sees?
+- Is the expected behavior observable too, and does it differ from the current one?
+- Is "expected" a behavior, not a fix?
+- Is "expected" something the product did before or promised — or new functionality? If new, re-route — it is a story.
+
+## Environment
+
+- Which environment details matter for reproducing it — version, platform, browser, account type, data?
+- Is the environment complete for every detail that matters? Leave unknown ones empty rather than guessing, and record them as open questions.

+## Record decisions
+
+- **Called by a skill** (e.g., `/yaawn-create-plan`): append each decision to the calling skill's decision log the moment it is made, in the format that skill defines.
+- **Standalone**: write no decision log. Present the decisions in chat when the session ends, in the format under "Result". Standalone is for a quick stress-test: if the frontier is still growing after three rounds, say so and recommend `/yaawn-create-plan`. Continue only if the user insists.
+
+## Keep the project glossary current
+
+The project glossary `.yaawn/yaawn-project-glossary.md` holds the project's domain vocabulary. It is separate from `.agents/yaawn-glossary.md`, which is yaawn's own glossary and is overwritten on install — never write project terms there.
+
+- Add each project term to the glossary the moment it settles — create the file if it does not exist yet.
+- Write each entry as `- **Term** — definition` and keep the list in alphabetical order.
+- Record terms and short definitions only — no implementation details, file paths, or decisions.
+- When a term the user uses conflicts with an existing entry, tell the user and ask which meaning holds. Never overwrite an entry silently.
+
+## Result
+
+The resolved design decisions. Before presenting them, check and fix any slip first:
+
+- Every heading in the design checklist has a decision or is marked `n/a` with a reason.
+- If you wrote to the project glossary this session: entries in alphabetical order, every line matching `- **Term** — definition`.
+
+Standalone, present them as:
+
+```markdown
+## Decisions
+
+- <topic>: <decision> — <reason>
+
+## Accepted in bulk
+
+- <topic>: <decision> — <reason>
+
+## Open questions
+
+- <question> — owner: <who>
+```
+
+This skill writes only the calling skill's decision log and the project glossary — no other files.
+
+## Examples
+
+- **Fuzzy language** — "the service," "the handler," "the data," "the cache": "You said 'the cache' — do you mean the HTTP response cache or the in-memory session store?"

+# What to grill: design
+
+A calling skill may add topics the session must resolve — raise them as questions too, never decide them silently. When a calling skill's topic covers a branch here, ask only the calling skill's version.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Does every part of the design trace back to the story or an acceptance criterion?
+- Is anything in the design not needed by the story?
+
+## Approach
+
+- Were real alternatives considered, and why does this one win?
+- Does the design reuse the codebase's existing abstractions and patterns, or invent new ones without need?
+
+## Data flow and interfaces
+
+- Where does data enter, change, and leave, and which interface carries it (API, function signature, file format, event)?
+- Does any interface change break an existing caller?
+
+## Domain
+
+- Which bounded context owns each change?
+- Does any change reach across a domain boundary?
+
+## Failure and edge cases
+
+- What happens on errors, empty data, concurrent access, and missing permissions?
+
+## Rollout
+
+- Can the change ship incrementally and be switched off or rolled back?
+- Does it need a data migration, and is that migration reversible?
+
+## Verification
+
+- How will each acceptance criterion be proven, and at which test level?

Use when the user wants to stress-test such a change before finalizing it. For how the change will be built, use /yaawn-grill-design.

+Grill the change itself — goal, why now, done means. Never ask about code, files, or the technical approach. To grill how the issue will be built, use `/yaawn-grill-design`.

+# What to grill: other change
+
+Walk the change's decision tree in dependency order: goal, then why now, then done means. Whether the work really is an other change is settled first — every later branch depends on it.
+
+## Goal
+
+- Is the goal one change, in plain words — or several changes bundled together? If bundled, propose the split — one issue per change.
+- Does the goal state what changes, not the technique, and is it free of code, file names, and implementation steps?
+- Does the work match a story (new user-visible behavior), a refactor (an inside improvement users do not see), a spike (an open question), or a bug report (a defect)? If so, re-route.
+
+## Why now
+
+- Does "why now" name a real trigger — a deadline, a dependency, a recurring cost — or could this wait?
+- Is the trigger stated as a reason, not as a solution?
+
+## Done means
+
+- Is every condition observable — could someone other than the author check it without reading the code plan?
+- Is any condition vague ("tidy," "up to date")? Propose an observable replacement.

+# What to grill: refactor
+
+Walk the refactor's decision tree in dependency order: goal, then why now, then done means. The value type judges the whole refactor, so it comes last.
+
+## Goal
+
+- Is the goal one outcome, or several refactors bundled together? If bundled, propose the split — one issue per outcome.
+- Does the goal state the outcome inside the product, not the technique?
+- Is the goal free of code, file names, and implementation steps?
+- Does anything in the goal change what users see or do? If so, re-route — it is a story.
+
+## Why now
+
+- Is "why now" a real trigger — a feature it unblocks, a recurring defect, a slow change cycle — or could this wait?
+- What does it cost to wait, and who pays that cost?
+- Is the trigger stated as a problem, not as a solution?
+
+## Done means
+
+- Can every condition be checked by a reviewer without reading the code plan?
+- Does "done means" promise no behavior change for users — and does every other condition keep that promise?
+- Is any condition vague ("cleaner," "better")? Propose an observable replacement.
+
+## Value type
+
+Does the value type hold — is it one of the [five types of value](../../yaawn-write-user-story/references/five-types-of-value.md) (Commercial, Efficiency, Market, Customer, Future), with a reason that follows from the goal and the trigger? If none fits, question whether the refactor belongs on the backlog.

+# What to grill: spike
+
+Walk the spike's decision tree in dependency order: question, then why it blocks, then timebox, then exit criteria. The timebox and exit criteria depend on how sharp the question is, so they come last.
+
+## Question
+
+- Is it exactly one question, ending in a question mark? Several questions are several spikes — propose the split.
+- Is the question sharp enough to answer — could two people agree on whether an answer fits it?
+- Is the question free of a proposed solution or a hidden answer?
+- Is the answer really unknown? If it is known and the work is to build it, re-route — it is not a spike.
+
+## Why it blocks
+
+- Which story, issue, or decision cannot start or be planned until this is answered?
+- Is the block real — or could the blocked work start with a reasonable assumption?
+
+## Timebox
+
+- Is the timebox a fixed upper limit ("half a day," "2 days"), not an estimate or "until done"?
+- Is it realistic for the question — and what happens when it runs out with only part of an answer?
+
+## Exit criteria
+
+- Would the exit criteria let anyone tell the spike is done?
+- Do they describe the form of the answer — a recommendation with reasons, a yes/no with evidence — not the answer itself?

+Grill the story itself — persona, goal, benefit, acceptance criteria, value type. Never ask about code, files, or the technical approach. To grill how the issue will be built, use `/yaawn-grill-design`.
+
+Challenge the concept before refining the wording. The default answer to a new feature is "not yet" — every feature is a permanent cost: maintenance, documentation, support, and constraint on everything built later. Push back relentlessly from the persona's chair: is the problem real, is this the right solution, what are the alternatives including doing nothing, what are the edge cases and drawbacks, and what is the smallest quick win that already delivers the value? Load [references/concept-challenge.md](./references/concept-challenge.md) and walk its gates as the first branches of the decision tree. If the challenge kills the story, say so and stop — never refine a dead idea into better wording. If it reveals a bug or a refactor, stop and send it back to the type picker.

+- **Concept pushback** — "You want a dashboard for that. What are you doing today instead, and what does that cost you?" "If we built nothing, what would actually break?"
