How lumpy is too lumpy for a 6mo?

Hi all

My baby is 6.5 months old and we starting weaning around 5.5 months. She’s taken to it very well, moving from purées to more lumpy textures within a couple of weeks.
I no longer use the blender now she is 6.5 months but mash with a fork.
Today I gave her a mashed version of a baby version spag bol which was probably the most lumpy consistency she’s had and she did super well and loved it.

My question is, is there a right age to move on to more lumpy textures? Should I still be making more lumpy purée food or am I okay to go with what she is doing?
We are doing a mixture of spoon feeding and baby led and she will happily hold a florets of broccoli or slice of avocado and bite into it and mash it with her gums.

essentially just don’t want to make food too Lumpy if her digestive system can’t handle it!

The grades of lumps I think were a bit of a marketing invention, I always went with if they can cope with it it’s fine. In face I started with some very soft small lumps, never did total purée.
