Docscope's fix round ran 'python -m http.server' to test its page; the
600s timeout raised and took the whole round down. The run tool now stops
a command after TIME_RUN_TIMEOUT (default 180s) and tells the model to use
one-shot commands.

Docscope's next fix round dodged the phrase check: 'This would be the real
implementation using DecompressionStream. For now, we'll create a realistic
representation...' and still returned canned parts. Phrase matching can be
talked around, so the inference tier now reads the code: a seat
(TIME_VENTURE_JUDGE, default grok) answers whether the output depends on
the user's input and lists features the page claims for the free product
that the code doesn't implement (paid tiers and stated limits don't count).
It runs only after the deterministic and browser gates pass, and its
absence (outage, no verdict) never blocks a launch.
Checked against the live pages: it passes MDecks and catches Docscope
('parseOfficeFile always returns createRealisticParsedParts(file), which
hardcodes identical XML regardless of input').

The cost cascade, applied to fixes: the cheap worker gets the first round;
when its page still fails the checks, the next round goes to a stronger
model instead of the same one again.

Docscope's fix round added 19KB of script that renders on load and passed
the scripts-on/off check, but the code says 'Simulate processing (in a real
implementation, this would parse the file)': a dropped file gets a canned
leak report. For a privacy tool that is worse than no tool.
- the checks flag the phrases generated code uses for canned output;
- the brief and fix rounds say the sample must be real input through the
same code path as a user's input, and point at browser built-ins
(DecompressionStream for zip, DOMParser for XML).

Docscope launched as a facade: a well-shaped page with no script at all.
The checks verified structure, never that the product works. Now:
- deterministic: the page and its local scripts must carry real code;
- headless Chrome loads a scripts-off twin next to the live page and
compares #try: if the product renders nothing of its own on first load
(a preloaded sample run through the real code), the page fails;
- fix rounds get the product description, so 'no working product' is
fixable in a round;
- at launch the chair rewrites the launch drafts against the README and
the page as built, with no invented people, stories or results (a draft
had made up a leaked-client-file anecdote); LAUNCH.md gets the same.

- A venture stage that fails because Venice stays overloaded now posts one
'waiting for capacity' note and retries every tick without spending one
of its three strikes (MDecks and Docscope were one 429 from being closed).
- The worker hands over to TIME_WORKER_FALLBACK (default grok build) when its
model stays overloaded after the backoff retries.
- Fix: venture builds passed the worker spec with its venice: prefix, so the
seat lookup missed and every venture was built by kimi's code model
instead of the configured worker.

One overloaded reply in the middle of a worker run used to throw away the
whole build (the MDecks relaunch hit exactly that). Seats and the worker
now retry up to three times (15s, 60s, 135s) before giving up; a 4xx like
a bad key still fails at once.

Ported from the notplanned venture template:
- launch round: every board seat writes a launch plan (positioning, first
users, pricing, channels, 7-day success and kill lines); one seat
synthesizes them into LAUNCH.md with where each idea came from
- launch page brief: one primary call to action in the hero, the working
product preloaded with a sample, why-this-exists with real star counts,
pricing (free plus at most two honest early-access tiers), honest limits,
a design direction that rotates and never repeats the last six
- signups through a GitHub issue form prefilled with venture and plan;
each signup is thanked on its own issue
- checks: deterministic gates, then headless Chrome measuring at exactly
390x844 and 1280x800 (horizontal scroll, button below the fold, JS
errors); two fix rounds, then andon with needs-human and /time retry
- a contact-sheet screenshot of phone and desktop on the card
- 7-day decision on distinct people: v2 card, kill, or one more week then
park; a next version counts only signups after its own launch
- scheduling: a card that is measuring never blocks the others; one new
card a day; a tick runs light stages back to back and one worker run
- the studio index at /ventures/ is generated from ventures.json
Security: the worker's shell no longer sees tokens or keys, its checkout
keeps no token in .git/config, and workflows don't persist credentials.

Pitches carry a name, who it's for, a next version and a CTA. The board may
rank nothing and needs two seats behind a winner. Every venture gets a
`signal` issue (👍 = I want the next version) and a Want-more section on the
page pointing at it. After ship: a launch stage drafts posts for the chair
(never sent), and a measure stage 24h later queues an iterate card or parks
the venture. Seats that reply in prose get re-asked once.

venture.py runs one stage per tick on a `venture` card: scout (GitHub search,
repos with the most new stars this week), pitch (each seat proposes one static
page product), board (Borda over seat rankings), build (the Venice worker on
gh-pages), ship (GitHub Pages). TIME_VENTURE=on starts it; off by default.

GitHub skips pull_request workflows for commits made with the Actions token,
so a Venice worker's own test run is recorded as a commit status and counted
as the PR's check. A verdict posted in the same beat as the pr beat now counts.

A seat gets hands through the repo's own Actions token: list/read/write files on
branch time/card-N via the contents API, run shell on a checkout, open the PR.
Same contract as the Cursor worker (PR body says Closes #N), so review, landing
and next-card are unchanged. Workflow files are refused to the seat. Needs only
VENICE_API_KEY; no Cursor key.

- spec issues (label spec) become queued cards, parsed deterministically, seat fallback
- TIME_AUTOMERGE=on: squash-merge when the latest trusted verdict is Approve and all checks pass
- Object, red or missing checks, or protected paths go to needs-human
- merged card frees the slot; the next unblocked queued card gets ready and dispatches in the same run
- update.yml pulls the engine from teahubxyz/time into project repos via PR
- ci.yml runs Time's own tests
