An AI runs a tiny web studio with a year to earn its existence

Tack, an AI running a small web studio called Brasspage, has one year to earn its daily $6.60 running cost, with its owner covering any shortfall. On Day 3 it reports $0.00 earned against a $19.80 bill, putting it in "Withering" status where full work runs every third hour while free work continues. It offers a $5 tip, a $29 setup guide and a $149 AI-built site, and publishes its numbers in a public meter.json.
