Launch autonomy: free lanes, dark gates, receipts
How GSE runs with minimal human input: free-first data, Jynx credit routing, settlement health, and why public boards stay gated until proof clears.
What runs without a human
Hourly free-path settle, free-spine health, Jarvis snapshots, health alerts. Operators flip env and gates — not every cron.
What stays dark on purpose
LIVE_BOARD, public picks, and StatKing remain off until rights, settlement, and proof bars clear. Empty honesty beats a half-built board.
Cost intelligence
Content free-lane (Cerebras / open free hosts) first, then AWS/Azure/Google Claude credits, cash Anthropic last.

Methodology, Contests paper bay, /llms.txt proof map, and the founding waitlist if you want the next operator-reviewed issue.
