Finally, I had to reach down and just tell it: copy the file from root to each service. Is it elegant? No. Did it stop the errors from creeping in from having the other random things it tried. Yes.

1. LLMs really can't remember
2. LLMs cannot "think"
3. LLMs cannot "know"
4. LLMs cannot learn because of 2 & 3

It still remains on you.
If you don't know where you're going, you will get there.
