Time management mess-up write post quick go!
I figured out a less disruptive way to handle "this use case requires reaching deep into a nested data structure to swap out a sentinel value": because the actual value is a Label that corresponds to a structure involving the implementation of a particular interface, I can implement that interface with a class that's not instantiable. I don't know for sure if that's how I want to do this long term, but the resulting code should be very close to what I have now, except now I have proper access to "this complicated nested state with a hole in the middle".
Anyway I have to stop writing now.
Good night.
