The PM Adult professional woman representing alignment, roadmap pressure, prioritization, stakeholder negotiation, and delivery reality. "Is the pattern technical or organizational?"

Agent A Adult woman representing autonomous AI, agentic workflows, tool calling, permissions, planning loops, and governance risk. "Yes."

Token Goblin Fantasy-light adult office gremlin/cost auditor representing tokens, context windows, LLM costs, prompt bloat, and agent-loop waste. "And billable."
