 Explicit repeatable `--target-outcome` requests become bounded coverage contracts: if `--max-cycles` ends before they are observed, the supervisor writes a logical incident for external review. The supervisor treats public testnet iCKB deposits, receipts, and orders as observable stress surface, but only bot/tester-owned state from the supplied configs is treated as spend authority.

 For continuous tester-bot matching, use `node scripts/ickb-supervisor-dynamic-loop.mjs` or `pnpm live:supervisor:dynamic-loop`. This remains outside `apps/supervisor`: it reads tester preflight balance summaries, chooses a currently fundable tester scenario, and delegates each bounded chunk to `scripts/ickb-supervisor-loop.mjs`. When `--target-outcome tester_fresh_order_skip` is passed through, supervisor auto-planning can choose `tester-fresh-skip-two-pass`; the dynamic loop itself only chooses fundable tester stimuli.
