Burn is not proof. Output is not victory. Accepted work that repeats is leverage.

---
Measurability caveat (generated, not model-authored): <home> (908K) ran outside any git repo. There is no diff to credit, so a 0.0 acceptance ratio there is the meter failing to see the work — not a judgement on it. Only ratios on measurable: true projects are verdicts.
Headline is accepted tokens (active lane, manual label wins over git auto-classification). Unsettled = committed-not-merged + open-loop. "Active" excludes cache replay; "spend" includes it.
Each cell = one UTC day, color intensity = log10(active tokens). Hover for date + counts.
