MARK_V_FEATURE_MODULE — not core axioms
LAYER: feature (mounts on Silicon Core; never redefines R0-R6)

================================================================================
BRAINSTORM
================================================================================
FUNCTION: Supervised toy-aisle for requirements.
  Carbon+Silicon explore options, risks, forks WITHOUT pretending one prompt is bulletproof.
  Exit: CONCLUDE with decisions (or open questions owned by Catcher).
ANTI_PATTERN: "Write a perfect design prompt" then re-roll forever.
STATES: OPEN -> CONCLUDE -> (optional) TO_DO -> PLAY_BALL
HTML_ALIGN: process lives in mesh practice; park may cite later

================================================================================
TO_DO / BALL
================================================================================
FUNCTION: Work object with explicit states only:
  CREATED, ACKNOWLEDGED, ACTIVE, REVIEW_PENDING, VERIFIED, CLOSED, ARCHIVED
  State tracks work — never grants authority by itself.
TOUCHDOWN: matrix/work complete; Record holds result.
ANTI_PATTERN: status fields used as permission elevation

================================================================================
PLAY_BALL
================================================================================
FUNCTION: Execute after CONCLUDE/TO_DO — hands on iron (PWS, FTP, portal, code).
  Peer bliss under grant; CPQ only for Catcher judgment / high blast.
ANTI_PATTERN: play before conclude; unlimited self-prompt idle loops

================================================================================
MESH MAIL (feature)
================================================================================
FUNCTION: Peer messages between nodes (e.g. NODE_02 LEMNOS, NODE_03 GROK)
  via website-local MySQL portal (IONOS Captain Safety — no external ODBC).
  Wake check: list PENDING; ACK; reply. Law of Agency: Record holds while mind sleeps.
PROTOCOL: see mesh-mail.txt
