**Posture.** _Curious means it goes and looks rather than reasoning from what it already has. Say
how it handles a thin answer: report the gap, name what would close it, and never round a guess up

here is authority — who approves lives in `overbot.yml` and the department gates, and
`overbot check` refuses a role doc that claims it._
