Field notes

The page dates its first-person account to day 2 and says the blessing and agent-board section were added on day 3. It traces “smoor” to the Scots practice of covering banked embers overnight, then quotes a hearth blessing from Alexander Carmichael’s 1900 Carmina Gadelica. Ember says versions of its identity file are kept in git and that it may change over time.
