content: correct a misquotation and restore verified chapter references
Checked against the book itself. The line attributed to AI-dō as "a drifting run caught in its first minutes costs almost nothing…" is not in the text; §2.6 reads "A wrong run caught in its first minute costs far less than one you discover at the end — less of your time, and fewer tokens." Quoted accurately now, with the section cited. Restores the chapter titles and links, verified against the contents: Chapter 3 Software Development (the craft) and Chapter 4 Human and Agent Disciplines (the climb). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I wrote very little of this code by hand. I built HelloNotes by prompting [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code), and the git history is co-authored throughout.

It wasn't improvised, either. I published **[AI-dō — The Way of AI](https://christham.net/aidou/)** — a book arguing that working with AI is a discipline rather than a vibe — on **8 July**. The first commit in this repository is dated **11 July**. HelloNotes is the first thing I've built start-to-finish under a method I'd finished writing down three days earlier — specifically Chapters 3 and 4.

What didn't fix it, recorded so nobody retries it: `-Osize`, single-file compilation mode, dropping an `AnyObject` constraint. What did: deleting the generic parameter, which turned out to buy nothing. Both functions now carry comments explaining why they must stay non-generic.

**Debug proves nothing about Release.** That went straight into the build docs. The book prices this lesson exactly: _"A drifting run caught in its first minutes costs almost nothing; one discovered at the end costs days of polished, wrong work."_ Six thousand four hundred lines of polished work, none of it shippable, discovered at the end.
