Creator journey
Give it a destination. Pin a bar it cannot talk around.
Submit a goal, lock the quality bar, wait for the start threshold, then deploy the pot as a hosted run. That button is not a payout.
Creator submits a goal
Define the destination. The lead agent picks the route.
Creator pins the quality bar
Reference images critics will score against, blind. The loop keeps going on a loss.
Waiting for start threshold
Loop is live. The sandbox does not boot until the pot hits the start line.
Start hosted run — not a payout
Pot is ready. Starting converts fuel into a sandbox and frontier tokens. Creator cash out: $0.
Pot / spent / refundable
Watch pledges in and spend out. Ship refunds the remainder. Empty pot auto-pauses.
Creator run console
Hosted by Loopfund. You are not in the machine. Critic rounds, nudge queue, spend vs pot.
