Build a habit-formation plan anchored to an existing routine

The prompt
I want to build this new habit: target_habit. Rather than generic advice, anchor it to my actual existing routine: existing_daily_routine.
1. Identify the single best existing routine moment to attach this new habit to (habit stacking), and explain specifically why that moment works better than the alternatives.
2. Shrink the habit down to a version so small it feels almost silly not to do (the two-minute version), and describe exactly what that looks like.
3. Define the specific trigger-action-reward loop: what exact cue starts it, what the minimal action is, and what immediate reward (not a long-term benefit, an immediate one) reinforces it.
4. Name the most likely day this habit breaks (which day of the week, based on my routine) and a specific recovery rule for getting back on track within 24 hours rather than letting one miss become a month-long lapse.
5. Suggest one visible tracking method that takes under 10 seconds to update.

Example output
Target habit "read more books" anchors to the existing routine of making morning coffee, chosen specifically because it's a fixed daily moment with a few minutes of natural downtime, unlike the more variable evening routine. The two-minute version is defined as "open the book and read one page while the coffee brews, no minimum beyond that." The loop: cue is the coffee maker's gurgling sound, action is opening to the bookmark, immediate reward is the small satisfaction of the page-turn plus the coffee itself becoming linked to it. Saturday is flagged as the likely break day given the routine shifts on weekends, with a recovery rule: "if missed, read one page before bed instead, don't wait until Monday to restart." Tracking suggestion: a physical tally mark on a sticky note by the coffee maker.
