Currently just **fat**. That's notably incomplete — eggs are one of the most multi-role ingredients in cooking. They bind (structure/heat), emulsify (fat), and can act as a leavening agent via trapped air. The absence of **heat** is the most glaring gap, since egg proteins coagulate via heat and that's central to most egg cookery.
Want me to propose adding more pillars?

Propose tightening the role text — make it more concise. Stage the change.

Looking at the current role, it's 2 sentences and ~40 words — decent but slightly redundant ("enriches"/"richness", and the final clause about emulsified sauces is narrow for a top-level role description).
→ stage_change_role(new_role="Binds, emulsifies, and enriches. Yolks add fat and body; whites add protein and structure. Use raw for emulsions, cooked gently for custards, or beaten for lift.", reason="Removes redundancy (\"enriches\"/\"richness\"), consolidates the yolk/white breakdown, and makes the three cooking modes parallel and scannable.")

**Proposed role:** "Binds, emulsifies, and enriches. Yolks add fat and body; whites add protein and structure. Use raw for emulsions, cooked gently for custards, or beaten for lift."
Cuts from ~40 words to ~30, drops the duplicate "richness," and replaces the trailing specific example (emulsified sauces) with a tighter three-mode summary. Apply or Reject?
Applied: rewrote role of 'egg' — Binds, emulsifies, and enriches. Yolks add fat and body; whites add protein and …
