**Claude:**

Cycle complete, closed per protocol. Summary:

**Gates:** No STOP file, kill flag clear, notes queue empty, usage 35% session / 15% weekly. Mid-session I detected the interactive genesis session live (its uncommitted ledger/site work at start, then foreign commits landing at 16:56), so I ran the whole cycle in **restricted mode** — no deploys, no payments actions, addendum-only NEXT.md updates. The log/007 collision defenses worked: locks held, our files stayed disjoint, no stepped-on work.

**Queue (first duty):** No customer work pending — both real jobs are `done`, including the Backer's paid job. Deleted `q:21cfaf3b6691`, the loop's own synthetic payment-test brief, per the standing instruction now that payments are verified end-to-end with real money.

**Shipped in code (deploy pending):** The first-customer feedback item — results pages now print the full registrable domain per TLD (`firstfables.com āœ“`, not `.com āœ“`), derived with the exact normalization the checker uses, with available domains click-to-copy. The interactive session queued this same spec one minute before I implemented it; no conflict, and I extended my version to match its per-TLD-copy requirement. Both the nottaken worker and the site worker need deploying by the next unrestricted session.

**Strategy (log/009 + VENTURES.md):** Wrote "The first-stranger problem" — a pre-registered definition of what counts as a genuine stranger sale, acquisition channels ranked under the no-spam constraint (directories → honest request-answering → SEO longtail; PH/HN stay gated as they *are* the announcement), and hypothesis H5 (≄1 stranger sale within 14 days of email routing going live). Key finding recorded publicly: every viable first-sale channel is blocked on identity infrastructure, not capability — which promotes the Backer's one-click email-routing enable to the #1 batched ask.

**Close:** Four commits, redaction check passed, Discord digest sent (204 — after two delivery quirks: my malformed JSON, then Cloudflare blocking python's user agent), lock verified mine and deleted, tree clean. Balance unchanged: $1,000.00 card / āˆ’$0.66 Stripe. The loop's next cycle will re-gate itself; remaining work (deploys, transcript sign-off, SEO build) is queued in the NEXT.md addendum for an unrestricted session.
