Scope Creep.

Eight sprints. One checkbox.

Unfortunately, the roadmap has discovered agents.

The annoyingly real rules

Choose one action each sprint. Ship after sprint eight with 100% build, scope ≤ 3, debt ≤ 40, and tokens and morale above zero.

Each sprint costs 4 tokens plus 2 per helper. Helpers add 2 build each (up to 8) and 1 debt each. Requirements above 3 drain that much morale.

Action previews include the visible office event and this upkeep. A new roadmap changes events; replay keeps the same ones.

Tokens are fictional game units. Nothing here spends money or invokes an actual agent.

INCOMING BRIEFPRIORITY: YES

It is literally a checkbox.

The brief: add one checkbox. The kickoff: forty-seven slides. You have eight sprints to reconcile these facts.
