+      DTD 3/3 (Claude+Codex+Qwen, unanimous). The Contrarian flagged that the 2026-07-02
+      session created abramsego-orchestrator as a 4th "keep-agents-busy" loop alongside
+      officer-yolo, yolo-plus, and dw-yolo-loop — violating the cabinet's own governing
+      principle "fewer agents, broader triggers." Its mandate (read fleet heartbeats,
+      re-route stalled work toward the self-funding P&L, escalate only gated items) is a
+      standing operational pass the EXISTING vp-abramsego officer runs itself; it needed no
+      separate subagent (dw-yolo-loop already proves the standing-loop pattern). Retired the
+      agent file; folded the orchestration pass into vp-abramsego.md body ("Ultron mode").
+      Net: -1 agent, same capability, principle restored. The dungeon's Ultron center node
+      stays as a VISUAL of vp-abramsego's orchestration role, not a separate agent.
