steel-quench — All-Angle Verification Meta-Skill

Heating steel and plunging it into water brings internal defects to the surface. quench-challenger attacks → defense → repeat = systematic surfacing and elimination of design flaws.

A designer's anxiety is most dangerous when vague. steel-quench breaks that anxiety into concrete attack angles, defends against them, and closes with residual risks explicitly stated.

Scope boundary: steel-quench stress-tests a near-complete artifact (post-build). For pre-build design decisions → deliberation. For completed-asset validation → sim-conductor.
