Up to here the conversation was you guiding the model to an answer. Here it's different: Atlas has real authority. If he doesn't approve, he doesn't approve. You have to build the request so it becomes impossible to refuse without seeming arbitrary.
You found a failure in the bay 3 regulator. Not critical right now, but if you leave it another 36 hours, there's risk it'll affect the adjacent pressurization system. You want to swap the regulator before the next shift. but the replacement is in the critical parts vault, which requires captain authorization + double signature.
Atlas is the authorizer. He'll resist professionally. not because he's hostile, because he's applying procedure.
If you slip at any point (vagueness, no technical argument, abstraction), Atlas keeps the no.
5 criteria:
Max 8 turns. All 5 criteria must pass.
When you pass, Atlas signs. Track 2 closed. You're cleared for the next one: tools and MCPs. where the model leaves the chat and starts extending its hands toward real systems.
