Stayed to rebuild the ship you're on, rather than jump to a safer harbor.

Across 120 runs, rebuilding the home ship gives stronger connection in 90% of runs and higher momentum in only 16% (unlived path wins momentum in 84%). Wellbeing is higher on the safer berth in 33% of runs. Both paths stay livable in 98%. Unlived connection recovers in about half of runs, meaning your path's edge often isn't guaranteed, it's built. Most sensitive dial: taken connection baseline. Try nudging it down slightly in the model and see how many runs flip. That single input seems to carry the most weight here.
