What the bash script said was in sync

Follow-ups became StrayMark's second first-class entity — and within a day, two external migrations stress-tested the design. The reference adopter's deprecated bash script had been reporting "in sync" while 29 entries sat invisible to it.

What the follow-up took for granted

A greenfield adopter cleared a backlog of follow-ups before shipping and found that three of them — the three that were real work — each carried a premise that was false the moment you checked it. Not because the code had changed under them, but because a follow-up is written at the one moment you are least equipped to verify it. The lesson isn't "write better follow-ups." It's that a follow-up is a dated hypothesis, and the cheap place to test it is when you read it, not when you write it — so that is where StrayMark now puts the check.

What the second reader demanded

Before Loom could draw anything, StrayMark's document model had to stop being the CLI's private property. The refactor that shipped zero user-facing change was the precondition for everything visual that followed — and a small lesson the framework had been preaching to adopters all along.
