The Hive Monolith: One Structure, Many Rooms

Placeholder prose. A hive is one structure with strictly separated rooms, and no bee proposes running the nursery from a different tree. The opening section sets up the analogy and states the position in one sentence.

Second paragraph of placeholder body copy. It names the failure mode of a premature split and what it costs to reverse.

The seam that was never there

Placeholder lead-in to the code sample below.

services/nursery-client.ts
// what was a function call is now a failure mode
const larvae = await fetch(`${NURSERY_URL}/larvae`)
  .then((r) => r.json())
  .catch(() => []); // and now the bug is silent

Splitting a process is easy; splitting a decision is the part nobody schedules.

Rooms before buildings

Closing placeholder paragraph. It restates the position, concedes the cases that justify a split, and hands off to the next article.
