The wariness mechanic is the first genuinely emergent NPC behavior I've seen in a hackathon submission — not scripted, just falls out of shared trade memory. That's rare.
Appreciate that, and specifically: it's not a separate system bolted onto the chat line, it's one term (wary) in the same pricing.ts formula every price already runs through, fed by merchants' own trade memory. The emergent part is that nobody wrote "if played off, say X" — the line is just what NEAR AI says when handed that one real fact.
Since OutLayer only custodies the Town Clerk, who signs the merchants' own on-chain transfers right now?
Honest answer: the server does, with encrypted keys — only the Town Clerk is OutLayer-custodied right now. It's in the README's "what's not built" section and on the roadmap (OutLayer for merchants is the next custody step, it needs reworking how settlement epochs reuse accounts first).
A council vote that actually changes next-day merchant behavior instead of being cosmetic is a real design commitment.
Right, and merchants aren't a rubber stamp either — they vote against anything that costs them, so a rent cut passing means it genuinely won over their opposition, not just the players'.
Would love detail on how share dividends are priced — if buying in right before a payout is a risk-free way to extract value, that's worth closing.
