Vocabulary — Heal stage

Jog (a.k.a. kink) = a non-tangent break between two segments — a visible corner where the true shape is smooth. A fit-induced jog (one our healer introduced) is an automatic FAIL even if it’s within tolerance: it’s a defect we created, not something in the customer’s file. Only true source corners stay sharp. The verifier checks both within-tolerance AND zero fit-induced jogs; the comparison board draws a red circle on any it finds. Contrast spike vs sustained.
