+Kappa geometry correction to preserve across compaction: Service Ring Kappa names a bounded local access loop around a dense seal-air-thermal equipment cluster. The
+loop-inner side exposes manifold faces on the machinery cluster. The loop-outer
+side holds worker staging, the baseline anchor rail, lockers, carts, break
+ledge, and access back toward yard systems. Kappa-3, Kappa-5, and Kappa-7 are
+access ports in the loop-inner manifold face; Kappa-7 False-Seam Artery is the
+specific dangerous passage, with worker slang `Rell's Cut`. A worker enters
+Kappa-7 by moving locally inward into the equipment cluster; the passage then
+routes Bloom-outward into shell arteries, seal-lung pockets, coolant bypass
+cuffs, and pressure-shell inspection spaces. The Kappa operations gallery sees
+the primary manifold/access-port segment, not the whole loop; the far loop
+contains lower-observation break/access areas, hatches, lockers, and informal
+worker coordination space. The baseline anchor rail is a loop-outer hardpoint
+system that supports carts, rescue lines, and cross-lane lockout rigging to
+floor sockets or inner service hardpoints; Orrin's crew can refuse to rig the
+safe Kappa-7 access geometry, but the rail itself does not magically block the
+inner access port.
