> ⚠ Write-prompts for Beat 6: the genuine resolution is still unwritten. The vault gives you the > floor (anxious optimist) and the bleak-optimistic out (second divorce), but a sincere "how I actually > succeed" button — earned, not deflected — does not exist yet. This is the beat to write into.

Per the Workshop caution, build bulletproof chunks first; don't pin minute slots.

| Beat | Bulletproof anchor (●/⭐) | Density | |---|---|---| | WAS | All-boys school → She Comes First; virginity → Rabbi | well-stocked | | AM | "Everybody hates me" ⭐; insecurity cluster (mid / height / chest hair) | densest | | WANT | thesis "deserve a woman I don't deserve" ⚠ + the reframe | thin — write the button | | GOALS | married-to-the-idea; why I want kids ⭐; weird wedding | well-stocked | | OBSTACLES | ED cluster; faking-orgasm epistemic problem; insecure-man-as-danger | densest | | SUCCEED | second-divorce logic / anxious-optimist floor ⭐ | thin — write the button |

The two beats to write into: WANT (Beat 3) and SUCCEED (Beat 6). Everything else is over-stocked — the job there is cutting, not finding.
