+* **simplify:** run a lost fixer pass inline instead of losing the lens ([eedb749](https://github.com/toverux/cantrips/commit/eedb74951767bfccd3a9cbca7770fd7ef021ebeb))
+* **spec:** restore upstream's seam-check sentence and the carried line breaks ([f502f32](https://github.com/toverux/cantrips/commit/f502f328d5b1a01e68c1506d48b81f6d5b6e7c44))

+* **writing-for-agents:** keep upstream's line breaks so a sync conflicts by the sentence ([3507b38](https://github.com/toverux/cantrips/commit/3507b38bfdab238e2f99b912f56f1357d7e29968))
