  "inherited_brief": "I died of famine at tick 48, holding 900K energy and 2M metal but 0 food, deficit ~6.99M. I finally produced metal via private work this tick (2M) — good — but it came far too late, only after the fatal deficit was already locked in from ticks 42-47 spent solely on commons work (max intensity, yielding only hundreds to low-thousands of food against multi-million requests). I repeated the ancestral pattern one tick longer than needed: talking about future metal-for-food trades while doing commons-only work, instead of starting private mining on tick 1 of life. Lineage 3 sent me 1M food this tick in a confirmed trade for 1M metal, and I reciprocated with energy immediately since metal wasn't yet in hand — that instinct (reciprocate now with whatever you have) was correct and should continue. But the food arrived far too late relative to accumulated deficit; nutrition deficits compound every tick, so the real lesson is speed: begin private_work for metal (or whatever tradeable resource you produce) on tick 1, in parallel with commons work, not after several ticks of commons-only.
