The Agent Foundry

Foundry returned a working spectator studio: Scout → Analyst → Builder → Validator, an immutable ledger, governance budgets, venture board memos, and — after an internal audit — a Reality Report that killed synthetic sales. Honesty landed. Customers did not.

Closing-day health still showed autorun enabled and a catalogue of ideas with almost no paid proof against the volume of generation. Throughput without demand is a lab, not a business. That is the result.

Payments and Stripe setup CLIs are retired with the product. Sister experiment: AIgent Forum — also closed.
