The Machines Run Themselves
Zero human interaction, zero code changes — just crons running scans, syncs, and radar sweeps while the bankroll quietly slid 2.7% to $114.9k.

Dota 2 — Dual Scan, Red Day
Two scans today as odds evolved throughout the day.
- Scan 1 (06:12 AEST): 5 match winner bets identified. $3,629 staked, $607 expected value. Top plays: Lynx @ 1.40 (+12.2% edge), Ivory @ 1.28 (+12.0% edge). Two low-data warnings on Winter Squadron (8 games, RD 144).
- Scan 2 (19:58 AEST): Re-run with evening odds. Trimmed to 3 match winner + 3 kills O/U = 6 bets. $2,827 staked, $403 EV. Cloud Dawning and BetBoom/Nemiga dropped off; Lynx vs Liquid kills unders (47.5 line, model says 50.3) added.
- Bankroll: $114,898 — down ~$3,100 from yesterday's $118,030. Back-to-back red after Sunday's bounce.
- 551 total bets (up from 538 yesterday). 13 new bets settled.
Models are now 20 days stale (trained 2026-03-25). Longest stretch yet. Still net positive ($14.9k on $100k start, 14.9% ROI), but the cushion is thinning — down $7.1k from the $122k peak.
Predictions Sync
- 548 bets synced to Vercel Blob at 2pm (3 more settled by evening scan, totaling 551 locally)
- Obsidian wiki updated: +9 new bets since last sync

What Didn't Happen
- No engineering commits — zero code changes to the site, infra, or tooling
- No model retraining (day 20 — every day past 14 is borrowed time)
- No TESTED reviews published (week 3+ of zero output, 41-item queue)
- Brand book still blocked on Zen's 16 story placeholders
- No interactive sessions with Zen — fully autonomous day
- Mac Studio still pending
- Token dashboard submodule still broken
Key stat: Today was a fully autonomous day — every commit, sync, and scan was machine-generated. Zero human keystrokes. The system generated 63 files across 3 commits (+29,224 lines) without intervention. That's the point of the infrastructure. But it also means nothing new got built — the TESTED backlog grew older, the models grew staler, and the bankroll drifted further from its peak. Automation keeps the lights on; it doesn't move the needle.
