+- A third seeded Ask question, "What is the next commitment?", on
+  every fixture that already answers the first two chips. A-100
+  names Send Northridge Grid the revised quote due 2026-01-12;
+  B-200 names the Westfield specification due 2026-01-14; Riverbend
+  names its calendar ticket due 2026-01-09; rec-006 says it has no
+  open commitment. After `make seed` the popup chips connect Ask
+  to the same dated tickets home Calendar already lists.
