additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines vague causal language ('must have bugged or something') with passive observation ('says its thinking but isnt doing anything') to imply the issue lies in transient software behavior rather than design choices — yet offers no evidence to distinguish between frontend rendering failure, backend stall, or API misconfiguration, leaving the root cause entirely unanchored.
