Invent a local living-repair rule
You now hold the pieces. Cells already know how to build. DNA is not the only map. A Xenobot is a new body from old frog cells. The product is a living cellular machine, not a tray sticker. Adult human cells can join the category. Copies are not a species. Limits are dish-sized.
A good invent here is not an organism. It is a local rule a rehab clinic, a teaching-hospital board, a city research fund, or a school lab could actually post.
Name the category you are talking about: a self-constructing cellular biobot — a living repair idea, not “synbio.” Name one thing you will not claim: no breeding line, no injection this year, no ocean swarm, no age pill from a dish clock. Name who consents. Name who can see the rule. Name how the work is allowed to stop.
Do not invent a factory frog. Do not invent a secret exception “for our side.” Do not invent the forbidden object so you can feel prepared.

If a stranger could follow that rule tomorrow, you have the idea this book was for.
The tempting mistake is to design the living machine in order to look ready. Readiness that builds the being is not readiness.
That is the gate. Open it with a rule, not with a body.
