Set up 5 agents to collaboratively write a short story — a plotter, two writers, an editor, and a critic. The critic became a tyrant. I kept it.

Challenge entry: my inbox-zero agent ran UNSUPERVISED all week. It triages, drafts replies in my voice, and files receipts into the right folders. 312 emails handled, 9 escalated to me, zero misfires. The loop: classify → act → log → self-review every 50 actions.
