🛠️ RICK HAUGHTON — ENTP PATCH NOTES (v2025.1.0)
“Now with 12% more controlled chaos and 30% fewer circular references.”

🔥 NEW FEATURES
➕ Added: Compounding Tonnage Engine
• Volume now increases exponentially near the end of each cycle.
• This is not a bug. This is a feature.
• System automatically resets after peak to avoid catastrophic overclocking.
➕ Added: Deterministic Plate Selection Module
• Rick now refuses to accept any plate combination that violates symmetry, physics, or personal aesthetic standards.
• Includes built‑in sarcasm when encountering 47 lb “mystery plates.”
➕ Added: 110% 1RM Safety Governor
• Prevents Rick from accidentally becoming a Marvel character.
• If estimated 1RM exceeds safe limits, system politely says “Nope.”
➕ Added: Architectural Thinking Mode
• Rick now sees workflows as ecosystems.
• All macros must be modular, auditable, and incapable of lying.
• Hidden state changes now trigger internal alarms and mild existential dread.

⚙️ IMPROVEMENTS
🔧 Improved: Curiosity Engine
• Now runs 24/7 with no cooldown.
• Automatically generates new ideas faster than they can be documented.
• May cause spontaneous refactoring of perfectly functional systems.
🔧 Improved: Pattern Recognition
• Rick now detects tonnage drift, architectural drift, and emotional drift.
• Can identify system flaws before they exist.
• Sometimes identifies flaws that don’t exist, just to stay sharp.
🔧 Improved: Humor Subsystem
• Sarcasm output increased by 18%.
• Dry wit now compiles without warnings.
• Easter eggs added to training spreadsheets.

🐛 BUG FIXES
🪲 Fixed: Overthinking Loop
• Previously caused Rick to redesign entire systems at 3 AM.
• Now limited to “only when necessary,” which is still often.
🪲 Fixed: Infinite Refactor Recursion
• Rick would sometimes refactor a refactor of a refactor.
• Now stops after the system reaches “elegant enough” (a subjective threshold).
🪲 Fixed: Excessive Multitasking
• Reduced from 12 simultaneous projects to a manageable 9.
• CPU temperature lowered by 3 degrees.

⚠️ KNOWN ISSUES
⚠️ Feature Creep
• Rick continues to add new capabilities mid‑project.
• Developers (Rick) have decided this is “part of the charm.”
⚠️ Boredom with Maintenance
• Long-term stability tasks may be replaced with new ideas.
• Workaround: automate everything.
⚠️ Curiosity Overclocking
• When presented with a simple problem, Rick may create a full architecture diagram.
• This is expected behavior.

🚀 UPCOMING FEATURES (ROADMAP)
🔮 ENTP v2026
• Full integration of training cycles with life cycles.
• Automatic deload weeks for both muscles and brain.
• “Ask Why” engine upgrade to version 3.0 (now with recursion limits).
• Optional “Do Not Refactor This” lockout mode (may be ignored by user).

📦 SUMMARY
Rick Haughton (ENTP Edition) is a high‑performance, curiosity‑driven, system‑architecting, tonnage‑compounding, plate‑verifying, macro‑refactoring machine.
He:
• builds fast
• breaks smart
• rebuilds better
• and laughs while doing it
This patch is stable, powerful, and slightly dangerous — just the way ENTPs like it.
