 A Gitea-native agent factory, running on Teahub prod (teahub.xyz). The Gitea repo is the ledger, Gitea Actions are the clock (Time), the worker is a Claude or Venice seat with hands or a Cursor cloud agent, and chat is where you plan.
 
 - **Cards**: an issue with a `DONE:` line, labelled `ready`.
-- **Heartbeat** (`heartbeat.yml`, hourly and whenever a card is labelled `ready`): moves cards forward. In `dry-run` (default) it only says what it would do; with `TIME_MODE=live` it dispatches each card to the worker (`TIME_WORKER`: a seat such as `claude:sonnet` or `venice:kimi`, which edits the repo and opens the PR itself, or a Cursor cloud agent), which opens a PR that closes the card. An optional reviewer (`TIME_REVIEW`) checks the PR. At most `TIME_DAILY_CAP` launches a day. **Spend governor:** every model call is booked to `time/ledger/<YYYY-MM>.jsonl` (tokens and dollars); once today's spend reaches `TIME_DAILY_USD` (default 5) or the month's reaches `TIME_MONTHLY_USD` (default 100), Time stops calling models, opens an `andon` issue, and a monthly breach also sets `TIME_MODE=dry-run`. No model decides whether to spend.

At most `TIME_DAILY_CAP` launches a day, and `TIME_PARALLEL` cards in flight at once (default 3; a non-positive or non-integer value falls back to 3). **Spend governor:** every model call is booked to `time/ledger/<YYYY-MM>.jsonl` (tokens and dollars); once today's spend reaches `TIME_DAILY_USD` (default 5) or the month's reaches `TIME_MONTHLY_USD` (default 100), Time stops calling models, opens an `andon` issue, and a monthly breach also sets `TIME_MODE=dry-run`.

 - **Mentions** (`mention.yml`): `@sonnet`, `@opus`, `@kimi`, `@grok 4.7`, `@qwen max high` in any issue, PR or comment gets that seat's reply.
 - **Hands-off** (`TIME_AUTOMERGE=on`): label an issue `spec` and Time splits it into cards that run one at a time. A card's PR merges itself once the reviewer approves and checks are green, then the next card starts. Objections, red checks and protected paths (workflows, deploy, secrets) go to a human.
 - **Venture loop** (`venture.yml`, every 20 min once `TIME_VENTURE=on`): one venture card a day, or one right away from Actions → venture → Run workflow → "Start a new venture now". It scouts the repos that gained the most stars this week; seats pitch; the board votes (Borda, quorum of two); every board seat writes a launch plan (positioning, first users, pricing, channels, 7-day success and kill lines) and one seat synthesizes them into `LAUNCH.md`; the worker builds the product as the page on `gh-pages` (the tool fills the first screen under a slim header with the one signup button; pricing, limits and the why sit below); deterministic checks and headless Chrome (phone and desktop) gate it, with two fix rounds before an andon; GitHub Pages ships it at `/ventures/<slug>/`. Signups go through an issue form (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/early-access.yml`), each one thanked on its issue; after 7 days the count of distinct people decides: build v2, kill, or watch a week more. The studio index lives at `/ventures/`. Launch posts are drafts for a human; nothing is posted outside the repo.
