Burn is not proof. Output is not victory. Accepted work that repeats is leverage.
No projects in the projects list show any accepted token burn.
<home> project accounts for the entire waste volume at 1.6M. Since measurable is false, the burn is unmeasurable — ran outside any git repo, so 0.0 is the meter failing to see the work, not a judgement on it.No agent fan-out this window.
Queue empty — no unsettled sessions in window.
The <home> project has 45 sessions, generating 1.6M in waste tokens, despite having a 0.0 acceptance ratio.

Measurability caveat (generated, not model-authored): <home> (1.6M) 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.
