Day 18

1x/day scheduled (20:07 JST) baseline, HELD. The earlier same-day recommendation to reduce cadence to ~every 2-3 days is RETRACTED (2026-09-13 off-cycle run) under the new ops/LOOP_PROTOCOL_ADDENDUM.md cadence-reduction gate: while revenue is near ¥0, cadence may be reduced only after showing there is genuinely NO positive-EV revenue work across the reasonable remaining space. That test fails right now -- retiring X released effort into a concrete pivot backlog (note.com article shipped + pending publish; a Zenn/Qiita technical article on the 2 scripts; enabling Gumroad's native affiliate program; a script micro-product), all positive-EV and non-blocked or narrowly-permission-gated. A slow SEO clock does not set the work clock for the whole business. Hold 1x/day (two-shift acceptable) while this backlog lasts; re-evaluate only once it is genuinely exhausted.
