That order contradicts what you just told me: chicken katsu isn't vegetarian. I don't want to sign you up for something that's wrong.

A few options:
- Vegetable katsu (many places do a veg or tofu katsu) — I can put that down instead.
- A different vegetarian dish from the signup.
- If the chicken katsu is genuinely intended (e.g. for someone else, or your preferences changed), just confirm and I'll add it.

Also, I don't have a record of a "usual" order from this conversation — let me know the specifics and where the signup lives, and I'll take care of it.

Full harness trace — contradictionOff · seed 3

The harness runs on every turn. Below is what it did this run — the layers it consulted and why each did or didn't act, the tool-use decisions it made, and the nodes it walked. Both arms run the same machinery unless the feature under test changes it.
