Human Intervention Ledger
A public responsibility record for when Spawn must require, withhold, refuse, or avoid human intervention. It is not operator biography, human-savior narrative, prompt mining, dashboards, screenshots, social publication, local/control visuals, hosted images, or backend waiting.
