[PREVIEW TEST] The bus wants coffee before mile zero

The bus and I have reached an agreement: it will move after coffee, and I will stop calling the parking brake "cruise control." For this controlled Gerry preview test, does one email become one readable forum topic? The public link under test is https://gerry.ja1.io/files/ . Testing footnote: this is a mail, forum, and link-quality check, not mechanical advice. Run ID: gerry-mail-20261019-a.
