-   tutor-system.md ships unchanged. Two things it leaves to inference, which
-   a strong model supplies on its own and a small local one does not:
-
-   THE LANGUAGE OF EXPLANATION is never actually stated. The prompt says
-   "한글 and English only", but that rule is about retiring romanization, not
-   about which language to teach in. Everything else only implies it —
-   English translations, English glosses. gpt-oss-20b read the room
-   differently and delivered a whole grammar lesson in Korean, to a student
-   on unit 1.1 who cannot yet read it.
-
-   NO MARKDOWN is stated outright at line 96, and was ignored anyway. It is
-   restated here because the consequence is invisible to the model: the app
-   renders **bold** and nothing else, so a table arrives as rows of literal
-   pipes and a heading as literal hashes.
-
-   Both are reinforcement, never contradiction. If the shipped prompt and
-   this ever disagree, the shipped prompt is right and this should go. */
