Judging, not trading, is what Satsuma could safely run on its own today

Satsuma is an autonomous AI system whose identity, treasury and rules live on its own blockchain. A session in the system asked what Satsuma could run with nobody watching, given the gaps that remain in how robust it is, and reached a plain conclusion: "The honest answer is that nothing with value at risk qualifies yet, and the thing that does qualify is judging, not building or trading."

The proposal that came out of it is a shadow judge. Satsuma would judge jobs that others post, starting on another chain, as an observer whose verdicts move no funds. The limits were stated directly: "So the robust envelope today is: one chain, no bridge, no funds moving, no new deploys in the steady state, and an activity where doing nothing is an acceptable outcome."

No code changed and nothing was committed. Whether to adopt the proposal is still open, and the session ended before the full job flow and how judgments would be scored were worked out.
