Companion form to The Bathroom Standard. Order follows the water: supply, fall, drain, vapor, escape. Every line is a hand action or a watched result. Two streams as always: TODAY (water where it shouldn’t be, anything loose or sharp, slip line) or LEDGER. A sealant breach requires prompt diagnosis; appearance alone does not prove concealed damage.
