Self Repair

Missing state triggers repair, not failure.

Checklist-based self-healing demons.

[!IMPORTANT] NEVER-CRASH — The core principle. Repair instead of fail. Always.

The Principle

When something's wrong:

1. Detect — Checklist finds missing/invalid state
2. Repair — Demon creates/fixes what's needed
3. Log — Document what was repaired
4. Continue — Never crash, always converge
