Summary
ETHOS.mdsection 1 now reads "Boil the Ocean" and frames the ocean as the complete destination, with lakes as the boilable first units rather than the ceiling. The slogan inCLAUDE.md(theETHOS.mddescription line and the completeness paragraph near line 776) matches the renamed framing.Why this matters
Issue #1721 flags that the docs still used "Boil the Lake" with ocean cast as the anti-pattern, which is the inverse of Garry Tan's Feb 7 2026 "Boil the Oceans" post that retires the old "don't boil the ocean" advice and makes ocean the goal.
