Orange water: the work. The station working on it lights up orangeNumbered plates on the skid match the steps aboveSpeed up one station and the line does not speed up. The pump runs 10x, but the pipe still narrows into a hand-turned review valve, so the work backs up in the sight glass and darkens with merge conflicts while it waits. Only when an agent opens that valve does the whole line flow. The fill levels, valve openings and timings are a demonstration cadence, not measurements.
