Review: a path is read as a path in the whole words, which an ask's own message alone shows (issue 383)

The review of 2026-10-10: a mixed-case path with a digit ("/mnt/Photos_2024/Jochen") read as a
random string and was withheld from the whole words, the symptom again; the whole was judged on
the kind's issued capabilities instead of the controller's fresh word (Promises); a condition's
record could have taken an ask's whole words in place of its own; and a short instruction text
with a path line was said to be cut where it was shown whole.
