Align glyph reading with reconciled Systems rule: learned family marks are reliable; human copies carry crew context, not deceptive labelling

- **A named place to go back to.** The isolator door is a later objective the player chose, not a quest handed out.
- **A reusable reading.** Family marks recur across the station, so the discovery changes which components are worth carry space on every later trip. How that feeds build choices belongs to [Build Comparison](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison).

- **A calibrated doubt.** Alien marks were made by people who knew what they meant; human copies were not. A marked component is evidence, not proof.

- **A second reading of the same marks.** Where a mark is the builders', it names what a component does, and once the family is learned that reading is reliable. Where a human hand copied it, it records what the crew was doing — which sections they cut off, and what they thought worth labelling. The same symbols carry two kinds of information, and neither one lies to the player.
- **More reach.** The installed head reopens places the player had to turn back from.
