The question was whether converting agent work to deterministic tooling recovers capacity or the work reappears elsewhere. Neither, cleanly: tooling recovers capacity where it removes the possibility of doing the work by hand, and recovers nothing where it merely offers a better option. Sorting the five candidates by that test reproduces the results exactly. env-setup and task-done left no manual path — env-test fails the build if the friction returns, and task-done refuses to emit an estimate, so the old way means knowingly writing fiction. Both met. facts-check and `make status` left grep and heredocs one keystroke away. Both missed. This is the principle ADR-0003 already used to reject explicit session markers — nothing that depends on discipline gets to be the primary index. It governs tooling economics too, and CB-RES-0003 did not apply it. Stated confidence sorted the extremes and said nothing in the middle, where every judgement call lives: both high met, both medium missed, and the single low also met, so it was miscalibrated at that end too. Future reviews state the mechanism instead — after this fix, is the manual path impossible, absurd, or merely inferior? — and only the first two may carry a cost prediction. The confound is symmetric and does not explain the split: building repo.py and task-done.py also required inspection and patching, and those categories still went to zero. It inflates the size of the miss, not its location. The most valuable output is not the 6 points of 38 recovered. It is that the loop made a falsifiable quantitative forecast, was wrong by 4-5x, and could say exactly which parts were wrong and why. CB-WP-0004 status -> done.

clay-borg
A rebuild from scratch simulation and games engine framework set up to assimilate and optimize techniques and implementations useful for games, simulations, robotics.

Running the gates
make all # every gate, from a clean shell
make -C /path/to/clay-borg all # …or from any other directory
There is no environment setup step. No cd, no export PATH, no
activation script. make locates the repo from its own path and cargo
from the standard rustup locations; the Python tools do the same via
tools/repo.py. The only prerequisites are a rustup toolchain and Python
3.11+.
This is deliberate and enforced: make env-test runs every tool from /
with a PATH containing no cargo, and make all includes it. CB-RES-0003
measured 84 agent turns and $15.33 spent prefixing commands with cd and
export PATH before that friction was fixed at the root (CB-WP-0004 T01).
Other useful targets: make cost (spend per task), make cost-budget
(spend since the last commit), make cost-mix (mechanical vs judgment
turns), make loop-lint (executable InnerLoop rules), make self-tests
(every tool's positive control).
GROUND
The first product vertical is a virtual tabletop implementation of GROUND — A Game of Bonds and Rivalry: DARVO Edition. The boardgame itself (rules, editions, content) is at home in the sister repository ground-game — that repo is authoritative for what GROUND is; clay-borg implements the engine that runs it.
