How to parent one peanut/nut allergic kid and one that's grown out?

Just that really. I have 2 DD and the youngest (5) has just been ,oved to Home Challenge stage having tested negative to all the treenuts and peanut prick and blood tests. Her elder sister (8) is still severely allergic to peanuts but was found to be very mildly allergic to a couple of treenuts at her last blood test and now we are waiting for hospital challenges. But how the hell do I proceed? We have a totally nut free house but apparently (after successfully getting through the home challenges) have to incorporate nuts back into the youngest's diet to ensure she continues her new found tolerance. Anyone out there parenting a mixed house? Any advise? Letter arrived today and I can't believe one of my kids may not be an epipen kid anymore...

We have nuts in the house but there are clear eating rules and washing up. My ds is ana but only to consumption, not surface contamination

thanks for the replies.... was beginning to feel like i was stepping into a minefield. I may well be! So what would the washing up rules be? My eldest DD is also ana only to consumption.

Eating in only one spot, over a plate. Table is cleaned with disposable cloths. Plates are rinsed well (by me) before being put in dishwasher. Sink is washed down. Never had a reaction at home
