At most `TIME_DAILY_CAP` launches a day. - **Mentions** (`mention.yml`): `@kimi`, `@grok 4.7`, `@qwen max high` in any issue, PR or comment gets that seat's reply (Venice). - **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`): scouts the repos that gained the most stars this week, seats pitch one small static-page product each, the board votes (Borda), a seat builds it on `gh-pages`, and GitHub Pages ships it at `/ventures//`. One card per venture (label `venture`), progress as comments. +- **Venture loop** (`venture.yml`, every 20 min once `TIME_VENTURE=on`): one venture card a day. 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 a launch page around a working product on `gh-pages` in its own design direction; deterministic checks and headless Chrome (phone and desktop) gate it, with two fix rounds before an andon; GitHub Pages ships it at `/ventures//`. 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. - **Doctor** (`doctor.yml`, manual): runs the tests and checks label, settings and keys. - **Update** (`update.yml`, weekly or manual): opens a PR with the latest engine from teahubxyz/time, so every project stays on one Time instead of drifting copies.
