Description
Culture-essay framing: 79 tengu_* gates, 200+ env vars, and multiple unlaunched subsystems (Buddy, KAIROS, Undercover, Epitaxy) create an environment where product velocity is high but reasoning about system behavior is difficult. Used to argue that the leak reveals a structural mismatch between shipping speed and long-term maintainability.
