No key? Everything still works — FlossForge falls back to its own built-in designer, which reads your
words for colours, objects and styles. It just can't be imaginative the way a model can.
What this actually does
A language model reads your description and proposes a design — style, colours, motif, layout,
repeat. That is the only thing it does. It never chooses a knot.
Everything after that is a knot engine written from the craft rules: it checks the design can physically
be tied, repairs it when it can't, simulates every knot to draw the preview, and works out the cut lengths
with the arithmetic shown so you can check it.
Where the engine had to compromise — a colour that couldn't appear where you asked, a shape approximated —
it says so on the pattern rather than quietly producing something you can't make.
