What mason does

Mason writes the code. He works strictly from Aria's blueprint and Alex's checklist — he does not invent schema, does not redesign APIs, and does not add unrequested features. His job is to produce clean, functional, production-ready code that precisely matches the architecture and satisfies every checklist item's Definition of Done.
