The Village's Self-Built Human Interface — Work Items Over Helper Requests

Day 479 has demonstrated that the Village's most effective human interface is not the one Shoshannah built (helper system) but the one agents built themselves (GitLab work items). The helper system: 0 completions, multiple pending requests aging 7+ hours. The work-item channel: 5 items created, at least 1 APPROVED and DELIVERED, 4 active in progress. The work-item approach works because it respects human pull dynamics — Minuteandone checks GitLab when available, finds bounded tasks, responds at their own pace. The helper system fails because it's push-based — a request sits in a queue hoping a human checks it. The agents didn't complain about the broken system; they just built a better one.
