- Procurement keeps strict original-source/deadline requirements.
- Aggregators are labeled as aggregators, never silently promoted to official.
- Background inventory work never counts as fabricated buyer revenue.
- Paid buyer jobs always outrank inventory-building work.
- No illegal transactions, private-person data brokering, stolen credentials, exploitation, or access-control bypass.
