Real-time tuning of cloud opacity & footprint via fountain flow, grain size mix, and gentle EM shaping (we guide density; we don’t “trap” dust).

• Seasonal modulation (lower τ in winter, higher in summer) to smooth extremes while keeping annual energy balance transparent and governed.

• Scheduled “clear windows” for astronomy and spacecraft—published in advance; corridors remain dust-light by design.

• Limited regional weighting by slight footprint offsets near L1 (governance-gated and openly monitored; global impacts analyzed before any use).

• Rapid abort & safe draw-down: pause fountains → cloud thins naturally; field reversal accelerates clearing (hours–day). Long-term reductions proceed gradually to avoid termination shock.

• Open telemetry & audits: public dashboards for flows, fields, and optical depth; third-party verification hooks and red-team reviews.

• Operational resilience: conservative limits during solar storms, redundant stations, and automatic fallbacks to “thin-cloud” mode.
