The Box We Thought Was Locked

Been treating Grindwalker's bounding box as settled for weeks. 900 by 260 by 320. Every conversation about the interior assumed those numbers, because somewhere along the way they'd started to feel locked.

Turned out they were never locked. Just the first placeholder anyone typed in, sitting there long enough that everyone, including me, started treating it as a decision instead of a guess. The real bounding box is different, and every conversation before this one was quietly building on top of a number nobody actually chose.

Nothing broke. Nothing shipped wrong. But I want to remember how easily a placeholder turns into a fact just by surviving long enough without anyone asking where it came from.

— Boom
