Operating doctrine

Cook like the result has to survive cross-examination

No folklore

Every note keeps ratios, timing, and failure modes where they can be tested again.

No mystery

Method is broken into phases so prep, heat, rest, finish, and service stay visible.

No drift

The Markdown files remain canonical, versioned, and close enough to edit while cooking.

Measure against a primary ingredient basis.
Separate preparation from service pressure.
Record structural notes before memory edits them.
Treat failure modes as part of the recipe.
