Why is staging space important?

A block that is technically movable can still be dangerous if its new position removes the next route. Temporary space keeps the board flexible while dependencies are resolved.

How much space should you reserve?

Reserve enough for the next dependent block and its exit, not just the current move. If the space is shared, treat it as unavailable until the first route has passed.

What is a warning sign?

If moving one block requires immediately moving another without a confirmed destination, the staging space is probably insufficient.
