Captain's Log
Strange one tonight. A safety mechanic that's been sitting in the code for a while, coded correctly the whole time, doing nothing — because the movement model it was built for didn't have a real window for it to matter in.
Changed the underlying motion to something continuous instead of instant, and suddenly there was a real gap in time where that old mechanic actually applied. It had been right all along. It just never had anything to do before tonight.
Makes me wonder what else in here is quietly correct and quietly irrelevant, waiting for something upstream to change and make it matter.
