Let the garden keep what she was given, not only what she sought

Two halves of the same idea, both read out of work Petal already records. Planting: an accepted collocation is a learnable chunk, so it becomes a phrase card. The scheduler didn't need to know — a three-word chunk climbs the ladder exactly like a looked-up word. What needed care was deciding what *isn't* a chunk (single words are word choice; a six-word-plus "collocation" is a rewritten sentence, and sentences make miserable flashcards), and that the example must be the *corrected* sentence — the stored draft still holds the phrasing she just left behind. Re-accepting the same chunk leaves the existing card alone rather than resetting a schedule it has been climbing. The whole thing is best-effort: accepting an edit must never fail because a flashcard couldn't be made. The growth journal: kept this month beside kept the month before, the phrasing that stuck, the patterns that faded. The queries were the easy part; the honesty is the feature. "Stuck" needs the phrase in a *second* document, because one document is just the edit where she left it. "Faded" says nothing at all unless she has been writing lately — otherwise a month away from Petal comes back to her as progress, which is the one way this could lie. And a suggestion had to start recording when she *decided* it, not when the model proposed it, so 0012 adds resolved_at and backfills the old rows to their created_at. It lives as a second tab in the garden, and it feeds the kitten: after an accept she now sometimes hears something true of her alone, once per line, half the time, never waited for.
