Budget: the monthly cap counts out-of-pocket money; credit is limited by its pool (#193)
credit_covered(): what an expiring pool's prepaid credit paid this month, within its balance and before it lapses, is left out of the month TIME_MONTHLY_USD caps.

Router: a card that waits is never picked; Astra gets TIME_WORKER (#185)
An open Depends on #N, or the seat's blocked note, keeps a card out of the picks and after the movable cards in the promotion order. astra.yml passes TIME_WORKER and TIME_PACE.
Closes#184.

Two dry rankings (2026-10-19 01:02 and 13:14 UTC) put the right cards on top (#135, #175), dropped blocked #84 once it was known stale, and kept L cards out. The two gaps they showed are fixed: money left is the worker's pool (#181, closes#175) and repeat cards aren't written (#181); the stall that kept promotion from happening at all is fixed (#183, closes#135).

Router: money left is the worker pool's allowance; no repeat cards (#181)
money_left(): the allowance left in the pool that takes TIME_WORKER's route, else the daily cap's remainder, capped by the month's. The seat sees cards closed in the last 14 days; a new card repeating an open or lately closed one is not written.
Closes#175.

Sync: a repo's copies on other forges follow its home (#177)
sync.py + time/sync.json + the sync workflow. One home per repo, one writer per branch: main goes out to every copy
fast-forward only (a diverged copy is a needs-human issue, never overwritten, unless forced once); a copy's claude/*
branches come home as PRs for the council. First copy: github.com/teahubxyz/time, skipped until GITHUB_MIRROR_TOKEN.

The owner's credit: $200 granted 2026-10-13, $162.22 left on the 18th by the console, expiring 2026-11-08. The ledger
books $38.51 of Claude spend since the grant, so $161.49 as of the 19th. Paced over the 20 days left that is about
$8/day for the anthropic route; the $100 monthly cap stays hard and binds first in October.

Adaptive budget: pace spend to each capacity pool (#174, re-cut of #167)
The worker's #82 change (sonnet via Time): budget_check(route) paces each call to its capacity pool in
time/pools.json (expiring credit spread over the days left, refilling windows, or TIME_DAILY_USD without a pool);
the monthly cap stays hard. pools.json is read through the API once per run, since every workflow checks out only
.github/time. Ships empty: nothing changes until it is filled in. Closes#82.

Router v1: the factory ranks its own next work, dry to start (#169)
Astra's seat judges every candidate (kind, value, size); router.py ranks them with the owner's weights per kind
(time/router.json), a restless boost and card age. dry posts the table; live queues from the top within the day's
money and the heartbeat promotes queued cards in ranked order. Astra reads the last 14 days of its log. Closes#168.

venture: the lead (opus) researches and picks the day's venture alone; fable is out (#164)
One seat, TIME_VENTURE_LEAD (opus), runs the day's venture: a research round over the top trending repos (with the
start of their READMEs) and the studio's track record, TIME_VENTURE_FIELD candidates with a verdict each, one pick;
no pitches, no vote. It writes the launch plan alone and judges the build, and hands the launch drafts to its helper
(TIME_VENTURE_HELPER, sonnet). The chair and judge default to opus. Batches keep the board; TIME_VENTURE_LEAD=board
brings it back for the daily venture. Closes#165.

venture: one venture a day, built for quality (#162)
The day's card starts only once every other venture card is launched or held; the board picks one from a field of
TIME_VENTURE_FIELD (6) pitches; opus builds; the judge scores the product 1-10 and a page under TIME_VENTURE_BAR (8)
gets polish rounds (never the last of TIME_VENTURE_FIXES=3), then launches with its score. An open batch card with
no Time beats no longer starts a batch while batches are off. Closes#163.

venture.yml: install Chromium for the browser pass (#157)
The first Claude ventures launched without the browser pass (no Chrome on the runner): no headless checks, no
contact sheet for the portfolio. One step installs Chromium in the job image; venture.py's chrome() finds it.
Merged on the owner's word, CI green (run 1014).

venture.yml: every 6 hours, Claude seats (#141)
Owner's call: the venture loop runs every 6 hours instead of every 20 minutes, on the Claude seats.
The builder is vars.TIME_VENTURE_WORKER || claude:sonnet, decoupled from the heartbeat's worker.
Merged on the owner's word after the council approved the engine half (#140).

Workflows batch: heartbeat knobs, housekeeping.yml, its test in CI (#127)
heartbeat.yml passes TIME_CAP_SLACK, TIME_ANTHROPIC_API (the caching kill switch), TIME_REVIEW_TIEBREAK and TIME_REVIEW_QUORUM; housekeeping.yml runs the daily sweep at 13:17 UTC; ci.yml runs test_housekeeping.py. Owner-approved merge.
