A gesture is read in a pause, not in a point

The flick lesson rode the incoming ball, over the player's shoulder — the one
moment he has no attention to spare for reading anything. It moves into the
room this game already keeps for teaching gestures: the serve stance, standing
still, mimed on the apron by the very demo the slingshot lesson plays. Same
clock, same hand, same words slot — one teacher, three lessons, and nothing new
drawn over a live rally.

The words carry both halves now, SWIPE AS YOU HIT TO AIM: WHEN alone teaches
nothing, and WHAT FOR alone gets tried at the wrong moment and read as a
gesture that does not work.

    It rides the failure it answers — `G.flatStreak`, returns that left with no aim on them
    (`flatCount`, reset by the first aimed one) — and only after `TUNE.flickHintAfter` of them,
    because hitting flat is a legal shot and not a mistake. **One lesson at a time:** the tap hint
