Picked s08 — Botanical Field Notes (locked).

Rules now flow with the content — they always sit between the category and the symbol-block, and between latin and the description, no matter how the text wraps. Stress-tested below against the six longest spice names. s08a–s08d are kept as alternates if you want to revisit.

I. s08 Stress Test — Six Longest Names

Crushed Red Pepper · Grains of Paradise · Herbes de Provence · Granulated Garlic · Nutritional Yeast · Green Peppercorn — verify the rules sit cleanly across all wraps

II. s08 + Alternates — Compare at Flagship

s08 picked. Alternates s08a–s08d kept for comparison.
