 Side dishes live in their own table and have no category. The pool is
 expected to stay small.
 
+### Tähteet — leftovers (stage 1)
+
+A single built-in entry, flagged `special` on the main dish table. It is
+**not food**: it exists so a day can be recorded as "we ate what was already
+there" without inventing a meal that was never cooked.
+
+- No category, which is why it cannot be an ordinary main: those must have
+  at least one.
+- Created by a migration. The household does not add, edit or delete it, and
+  it never appears in the Ruuat catalog.
+- Loggable exactly like any other entry, and shown on the log board apart
+  from the categories.
+- **The stage 2 suggester must never propose it.** It is excluded from the
+  eligible pool outright, so cooldown, category coverage (§8.1) and
+  frequency weighting (§8.2) all skip it — despite it being among the
+  most-logged entries.
+
 ### Meal log entry ("what was actually eaten") (stage 1)
 - `id`
 - `date` — SQL `DATE`, day granularity only. There is no time-of-day field
