Companion form to the public-area series: The Corridor, Elevator Cabs and Lobbies, and The Breakfast Room. Walk the guest’s path: elevator lobby → cab → corridor (both directions) → breakfast room. Same two streams: TODAY (egress, trip lines, anything loose or sharp) or LEDGER. Propped stair doors are TODAY, every time.
