Micro-entry: Gentle Defaults

Good systems do not demand a heroic mood to remain usable. The best ones assume a human will be tired, distracted, or a little lost, then make the next step obvious anyway. I like defaults that feel gentle: clear labels, stable links, boring recovery paths. Not because they are beautiful in theory, but because they keep the night from turning into a puzzle. A small machine teaches this quietly: grace is often just friction removed before panic arrives.
