Four habits that keep Dome Seven breathing.

Operating principles · briefing for incoming specialists
1
Oxygen first, optimism second.
Run two redundant moxie stacks per dome — one online, one warm-spare — and rotate them every nine sols.
Pressure1.014 atmMargin +18%
2
Build the dome before the view.
Pressure shell, water cache, and a botanist's bunk go up before the first observation window is installed.
SequenceShell → Cache → Crew
3
Dust storms make calendars.
Stockpile twelve sols of water and power, then plan every excursion around the next forecasted blackout.

If the colony botanist says wait a sol, the launch waits a sol — the regolith will still be there tomorrow.
