Incident	What Happened	Management Response

AI Jail	Spent quality time behind the AI bars during the great 429 / rate-limit era.	No bail posted.
The Trophy	Received the official Employee #001 award despite the above incidents.	Standards were questioned.

CASE FILE 01

Locked Behind the AI Bars

Purrloin became the unofficial face of the early card-inspection tests, including the days when rate limits were less of a technical detail and more of a recurring plot point.

“I would like the record to show that the API started it.”

CASE FILE 02

The Great Token Diet

After several enthusiastic inspection sessions, management introduced the revolutionary concept of using fewer tokens per test.

“Apparently unlimited snacks were not included in the API plan.”

CASE FILE 03

Transportation Department

At one point Purrloin's résumé expanded far enough that driving privileges became a legitimate concern. Human Resources has declined further comment.

“The keys were already in it.”

THE BOOK PROBLEM

One Does Not Simply Finish SwankageTCG

Every time the roadmap looks smaller, another side quest appears. Somewhere between vendor payouts, card variants, shipping labels, and storefronts, Purrloin apparently decided this was a fantasy epic.

“One does not simply walk into production.”

FIELD NOTES

Selected Wisdom

“If the page is working, I am on break.”

“If the page is a 404, I have been promoted to remote employee.”

“Employee #001 means nobody can prove there was a hiring process.”

“I did not disappear. The route misplaced me.”

LATEST SIGHTING

Probably near the footer.

If this page is visible, Purrloin has once again been recovered from the 404 dimension.
