A Lens daily summary derailed by reasoning artifacts: **People:**, **Patterns:**, **Drafting structure:**, “Constraint Check”, bleeding into the narrative

People pick up Lens, connect it to LM Studio, point it at whatever model they downloaded first, and expect polished daily snapshots. Sometimes they get them. Sometimes the same setup on a different machine produces output that reads like the model thinking out loud, or worse, fabricating events that didn’t happen.

Lens itself doesn’t change between those outcomes. The model, the quantization, and a few LM Studio settings do. This is the field guide I wish I’d shipped with the first build.
