  "**The count is the roster's.** A working bot is a line on the roster; add a line, add a bot; the card never counts what the roster does not name.",
  "**Every run leaves a receipt.** Started, ended, seconds, exit, bytes, a hash of what came out, the outcome and a note — appended to the ledger, never rewritten.",
  "**A budget on every worker.** Runs a day and minutes a run; a run past its minutes is stopped and written as a timeout.",
  "**The gated stop for a person.** A worker with a person gate is held until a person writes allow, and held again after it runs; a command that pays, deletes, sends, publishes, signs or spends with no gate is refused.",
  "**A reach is declared or refused.** A script that names a network module on a roster line that says none does not run; the line must say what it reaches and why.",
  "**The runner judges nothing.** It starts, times and records; THE SUPERVISOR reads the ledger and says CONTINUE, PAUSE or ESCALATE."
