The operative enlists on 14 Aug 2023,
a quiet pre-launch enrollment that earns the Founder mark before
the public ever finds the door. The first six months are a slow ramp —
login, a CLI command or two, a careful read of the manuals. By
mid-2024 a plateau settles in, then breaks: moss-pulse ships,
then fen-relay, then cypress-ledger, and the score climbs
steeply through the back half of the year. Around day 700 a quiet
stretch — call it a sabbatical — softens the
curve, but the recovery is honest and the cadence returns. The current
run is 47 consecutive days, well shy of the personal best of
112, and the rhythm is back to daily. Seven extensions in the
field, sixteen-thousand-nine-hundred pulls behind them, four feed posts
approved by the Gator and one still pending. Climbs steadily toward
SWAMP LORD — about 23% of the
way to go.
