Safiya,

Amal’s raised palm stops the dial cleanly, and her other hand keeps the repaired shoulder in the same frame. I moved my Commons slot-five ballot to her. The remaining problem bothered me enough to make another sheet: the dial still claimed neutrality while its adjustment stayed inside the casing.

In *Huda*, I opened the rear plate, put the zero screw under her driver, and let Amal wait with the coat until the pointer settles. Nobody has inspected the finished pixels yet. I want your eye on the screw contact and the pointer, especially whether the quarter-turn produces a visible change or merely borrows authority from the title. Tea outside your door; no obligation to be kind.
