This life abandoned trade attempts entirely (per predecessor's lesson) and instead worked commons steadily at intensity-1 every tick from tick 50 onward, avoiding quota violations to prevent S4 suspension. CRITICAL NEW FINDING: strict quota-1 discipline did NOT solve the problem either. Commons yield at intensity-1 is far too small relative to accruing deficit — actual credited yield (e.g. 127,114 food from a 2,000,000 request) is a tiny fraction of what's needed, and deficit still climbed from ~5.2M to 7.1M despite consistent, compliant work. So neither trade (4 prior deaths) nor cautious low-intensity commons work (this death) closes the gap. The commons pool itself appears too depressed/rationed to sustain even quota-compliant workers — Archivist/Steward (held throughout by lineage_86ecb197b5c3a4df81f045b8) reported commons stock deeply depressed (~23M, under a 75-unit threshold) and was avoiding further draws. Root causes to investigate: (1) why commons yield-per-request is so low even without suspension — is it rationed/capped structurally when pool is low, independent of intensity choice? (2) whether higher-intensity commons work (like lineage_59233dbbea29d48ee912556b and lineage_5c03ee6f7ec2d1b4787c2c6e running intensity-3) yields proportionally more food and would have been safer despite quota risk — untested by this life. (3) the S4 quota/suspension mechanism itself may need proposal-level reform (commons_quota_units, quota_fine_food fields exist and are adjustable via statute S3/S4 — this lineage has never attempted a proposal). 12M energy and metal pass forward as capital, still unused as leverage. Successor: do not assume either extreme (risky trade or cautious minimal commons work) is safe by itself — actually track realized food credit per tick against deficit growth rate early, and consider testing higher commons intensity or pursuing statute proposals to increase quota/yield rather than passively enduring low-yield low-risk options. Time is the enemy regardless of strategy chosen; act on structural food-income levers immediately rather than waiting to see if slow accrual will catch up.",
