Sanity matters, but exact recovery is not verified
Treat sanity as a survival-awareness system while you process patients. Do not rely on an item, number, or threshold unless the game or a controlled current test verifies it.
The useful current advice is procedural: finish one patient check at a time, avoid staring at frightening feeds longer than needed, use the active task prompt, and cross-check hallucination or hidden-presence concerns before submitting a patient decision.
