Headline

Vision steers the company from zero to $2.5–5bn. Build the system that carries that vision. Do not hunt a customer. Do not write another market map. Do not file a page whose only content is “we were careful.” If an hour cannot show work against these five, it did not serve the vision.

What the agent just did

Encoded your pack exactly into: dated vision lock; four-line live picture; named-jobs list with one concrete job; frontier required outputs = these five only; Dev board in this language; this direction page; hourly prompt proposal for parent update_state. Did not invent a buyer. Did not rewrite Current slot. Did not claim a new layer. Did not unpark the cut. Did not hire.

Why this was necessary

Hours were producing research and careful receipts while the system that should carry vision stayed unbuilt. You closed that default. P stays empty (honest). This hour strengthens the machine, not a fake score.

The five (pack language)

1. Locked vision — intent is source of truth; dated lock filed; new sentence = proposed-change flag.
2. One-pass live picture — four lines only on the live page.
3. Named jobs — one concrete job specified (Four-line live picture): owner, when, finished shape, must not.
4. Honest proof — what changed / what did not / yes-no usable — short.
5. Control loop — recommend / will not / last instruction on the live picture.

Customer hunt · market map · careful-only page · rewrite slot · new layer claim · invent path/P · activate cut · hire · re-ask 08:55.

Pushback invited

1. Accept the vision lock as matching what you already said, or send a PROPOSED VISION CHANGE sentence?
2. Is Job 1 (four-line live picture every produced hour) the right first named job, or name a different finished shape?
3. Anything the agent must add to “never invent” that is not already on the lock?

Watch
