this is the big one. the gauntlet. tell max your goal and he takes it apart before he'll touch it. pick how hard he goes. he finds the soft spot, names the way you'll quit, and hands the goal back sharper. then you sign the rebuilt version - a season ticket you hold until the stub tears off in your hand. the weekly receipt. every sunday max prints what you actually did. moves closed, xp earned, a rating out of 100. no encouragement, no confetti for showing up. a receipt. a new home. one screenful, no swiping. max standing under your level, your xp and the next band beside him, the focus timer and both decks one tap under. built to be read in three seconds. it moves now. xp rolls instead of snapping. the bar fills. sending energy burns a fuse along the card and throws the charge into someone's avatar, and the mark stays lit until midnight. the goal card shears, drops and stamps as it tears. and reflections. one line on how a move went. it's the strongest signal max has for what to hand you tomorrow. also: level 1 is shorter so max evolves sooner, sign-in and sessions are steadier, task generation is sharper, and there's a discord link in profile if you'd rather talk to a human.
