Jonlang, would you care to share those plain language sound changes here? We're no AI, but some of us could translate that into formatted input for our favourite SCAs. I'd like the challenge, using Lexurgy.

I’d be interested in this too!

They're just my own changes that I wrote on paper (originally) and have tweaked over time. Like "intervocalic p t k become b d g" or "initial sp, st, sk become sɸ, sθ, sχ" and the like. I prefer to do sound changes by hand anyway, marking key stages in the conlang's development. When I said plain language I meant just simple statements like this which, to me, aren't ambiguous - though sometimes they seem to be for AIs.

That's what we meant! To see if we could "formalise" those statements. A good test of the flexibility of a given SCA (maybe it'll give bradrn ideas for further Brassica tweaks).
