The third intake offered "Ship the 28 commits now (Recommended)" and it was
exactly what the owner wanted — and it was a task, not an arrangement. Pick it,
the work happens well, and nothing is armed at the end. The option said nothing
about that, so the way you find out is a tag going unnoticed the next day.
A commander exists to end up watching something, so a one-off is never an option
by itself: it is the first half of one, and the second half is what it leaves
running. "Ship these now, then arm the watcher" against "just arm it, they go
with the next tag" offers the same work and makes the difference visible.
Wanting only the one-off is still a fine answer. It just has to be chosen
knowingly — "then I am not a commander, just an agent that did a job" — rather
than by accident.
