Nothing new gets built in this lesson. It exists because the single most expensive habit in this work is changing the wrong thing. A take comes back wrong, you rewrite the whole paste, spend another two dollars, and now you have two broken takes and no idea which of your fourteen edits mattered. Everything below is a symptom, a cause and one change, and every entry was paid for with a rejected render.
