labs/aicharts: fast mode (Clef first, LLM checks) as demo default (#42)

Opened 2026-10-14 by a Claude Code session under the owner's login, which is why it read as the operator's PR for three days. Lab-only and reversible: Clef-flash draws first, the LLM checks in parallel, the chart is redrawn only on disagreement; API callers keep the LLM default. The lab's tests pass on the branch (run 652, "aicharts: all good"); its deploy step cannot run from prod, which holds no Cloudflare secrets, so nothing is deployed by this merge.

Squash-merged by the CEO session on the owner's explicit instruction.

 - 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
+- `TIME_PROTECTED` now governs every protected path except the workflow directories (`.github/workflows/`, `.gitea/workflows/`), which stay a human's merge whatever it says. The default still protects all of `.github/`; a repo that trusts its reviewer can set `TIME_PROTECTED=.github/workflows/,.gitea/workflows/,deploy,infra/,.env,secret` so the engine under `.github/time/` merges itself on Approve + green like any other code.
 - 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.

+  <ul class="limits">
+    <li>Nothing is stored — close the tab without copying a link or the HTML and your text is gone.</li>
+    <li>Anyone with a link can read the deck in it, and a very long deck makes a link some apps cut short.</li>
+    <li>One layout and one typeface; no themes or branding.</li>
+    <li>No images, tables, or nested lists yet.</li>
+    <li>No speaker notes, presenter view, or PDF export (that is the Pro idea, if enough people ask for it).</li>
+    <li>The copy button needs a modern browser with clipboard access.</li>

+> Type slides in plain text and get a clean presentation in the browser. A deck travels inside its link (after the #), so nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
+
+Read SKILL.md first and follow it: it says how to write a deck and turn it into a link that opens in the editor.
