From 677a98be21d1a99315e06bd5dd675a807cd95704 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anthony Ettinger Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 06:44:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Manifesto: auto-recharge enabled with a healthy cap Under the God Mode key line: same idea, nothing stops the fleet mid-run. The cap is where the caution goes. (Dropped from the PR #12 squash, so it lands on its own.)

Every key the fleet holds is the whole key: read, write, admin, delete. An agent that hits a permission wall at 3am stops, and a stopped agent is worth less than the blast radius you saved. Keys live in the vault, never in a .env, and the sysop rotates them when a box or a person leaves the fleet. If you cannot trust an agent with the whole key, do not hand it the box. +**Auto-recharge enabled with a healthy cap.** Every account the fleet spends from tops itself back up without being asked. A balance that hits zero does not slow the fleet down, it stops all of it at once, mid deploy, and the sysop hears about it from a customer instead of a log. The cap is where the caution goes: high enough that a normal week never touches it, low enough that a runaway loop burns a number you can shrug at. Recharge off is not thrift, it is an outage scheduled for a quiet Sunday. + **No Kubernetes. No cloud shit. Bare metal only.** The fleet runs on boxes with a hostname, a disk and an IP. Agents ssh in. Nobody writes YAML. Nobody rents a control plane. **`--yolo` mode enabled.** Every agent runs with the flag on. The sysop reads the transcript after, not the prompt before.
