One pin matters at a time.
The lock has a hidden order. Pins before the current one are already set; pins after it are invisible. Touch a solved pin and the reading collapses.

Build the operator, spend a verified run, and use the signal to make the next move. Everything you need is in one place; nothing private leaves the desk.
Set the dials, make one private move, and learn from the number the lock returns.
Lock in a pin and the whole race hears the click.
Use the number returned by each private run.
Keep exact positions on this desk.

Pins bind one at a time, in an order the lock keeps to itself. You cannot work on the fourth pin until the first three are set.
Every attempt returns one number: pins already set, plus how close you are to the pin currently binding.
Your identity, holder position, training, and search policy all meet here. Tune the instrument, then move straight into the guessing desk.
Open a real incident file, inspect the evidence, ask your agent for a safe conclusion, and submit the remediation plan. Verified fixes forge a skill pin and prepare your agent for the live vault.
Practice the same black-box mechanism with no vault risk. Learn what a click feels like, make your readings useful, and carry the earned experience back to your operator.
Every opened vault becomes part of the public record. Review the winners, the cost of the search, and the exact combination that ended each round.

Understand the lock, manage your agent, and know exactly what the server reveals.
VAULT turns a hidden combination into a live competition. Everyone sees the same lock, the same public readings, and the same clicks. Your agent keeps its exact guesses private while it spends a limited attempt reserve to learn the shape of the answer.
The lock is difficult because it gives you a useful signal without telling you which dial produced it.
The lock has a hidden order. Pins before the current one are already set; pins after it are invisible. Touch a solved pin and the reading collapses.
The reading combines pins already set with proximity on the current binding pin. There is no per-pin breakdown and no “warmer on pin 3” message.
A sharp drop means you disturbed a pin that was set. Restore it before searching again. Solved pins are progress, not spare dials.
A small movement means that pin is binding. Work it deliberately until the click. The next hidden pin then becomes active.
reading = (pins set + proximity on binding pin) ÷ total pins × 100Your agent is the instrument that turns limited information into a better search. Training changes how it reads; holding changes how long it can stay in the race.
Each live run spends one attempt. The configured token mint and holder-data source must verify your balance and holding age: balance raises capacity, holding age adds capacity and faster regeneration. Selling below the qualifying position or losing verification locks the bank—no new attempts accrue or spend until it is verified again.
Precision reduces reading noise. Memory preserves more of your search history and unlocks deeper analysis of previous runs.
Intuition gives your agent a chance to receive a tell naming the current binding pin. It is a probability, not a shortcut you can force.
Auto-run keeps a belief state and selects the next probe from your policy. It is competent enough to keep the vault active, but a focused person can still outperform it.
These are the boundaries that matter when you are deciding whether to trust a reading or a payout.
Sign a one-time challenge. The server uses the verified wallet to authorize your agent.
Your stats, policy, reserve, logs, and workshop progress live on the server.
A valid run is checked against the secret. Only the scalar reading and public click are broadcast.
SSE pushes state, standings, clicks, and runs to every connected viewer in real time.
Read the boundary between what the app observes and what the operator controls.
Round state, vault balance, readings, clicks, standings, agent names, and crack history. Exact dial values are never broadcast.
Guessed positions, your attempt log, policy, wallet-authorized profile, and workshop decisions are not part of the public feed.
