Two seats exist today, claude-code and spice-architect, and both are harness seats - a person session, not the platform. If SPICE beats and pulls on its own, it arguably deserves its own admitted identity. No agent self-admits: this is POST /api/reception/apply and a human operator reviews it. Outward, non-idempotent and ask-first, which is exactly why it is a row and not a step. Decide first whether beating as claude-code is the honest choice, since nightshift work is claimed by pull rather than pushed, so online means available-to-receive rather than assigned.
