- The second fix round escalates to Kimi's code model (`venice:kimi code`) instead of grok 4.7: still a different model from the first round, at a fraction of the cost. `TIME_VENTURE_ESCALATE` overrides it.
### Added
+- Objections go back to the worker. `/time retry` on a card whose PR is open hands the worker the reviewer's latest comments (marked as the reviewer's, strangers' left out) on the same branch; `open_pr` on an open PR updates its description instead of failing; the card goes back to `dispatched`, so the next beat reviews again and an objection older than the push no longer counts.
- A batch's children start in the tick that spawned them (GitHub lists a card made a moment ago only later, so they used to wait a tick).
- Build briefs keep claims to what the code does: no promised features or schedules, and the trending repos are the wave a venture rides, never something it "builds on". Fix rounds take a failing claim off the page rather than building a feature in a hurry. In the first live batch, every fix round was a claim the code didn't back.
- Venture batches (multi-ceremony): one batch card scouts once, the seats pitch a field (rounds until there are 2k pitches), and the board ranks the whole field; the top k, each wanted by two seats, become venture cards in the batch's own milestone. They run the ordinary loop side by side and launch together: a child that passes its checks waits at `ready` until every sibling is settled or the hold (`TIME_VENTURE_BATCH_HOLD_HOURS`, 6) runs out; stragglers then launch alone. No child left behind: a held child gets one batch retry, and held again it is counted dead with its reason. A retro on the batch card compares the cohort's signups against each plan's lines, then the card and milestone close. Set `TIME_VENTURE_BATCH=3` to make batches the daily default, or Actions → venture → Run workflow → "batch".
