Accept contracts. Spawn processes. Keep the rig alive.

TASK_MANAGER_IS_THE_GAME

Every process eats CPU, RAM, disk, and heat budget.

Kill the wrong thing and the work dies with it.

CONTRACT_ACCEPTED

Money comes through email.

So do scams, malware, and choices you cannot unclick.

THREE_SIGNALS_DETECTED

Chip wants to help.

DataDyne wants compliance.

Ghost wants proof.

THERMAL_LIMIT_REACHED

Above 90C, the machine fights back.

At 100C, it crashes.

BAD_VOLTAGE_BAD_END

Tune clocks. Touch voltage. Push harder.

The BIOS will remember what you did.
