## Assistant (summary) - Read `.ai/START-HERE.md` and `.ai/beads.md` to ground the bead protocol; established this is the `guerin` parciante space (local `c:/Users/steph/Documents/sites/redfish.acequia.io/guerin/`). - Generated GUID `0fd7fdc4-6f71-4100-9daa-fae4837a4b8f`; checked house UI style from `apps/camera-grid/plume.html` (dark theme, top bar, version stamp). - Built the deliverable `artifacts/edgeworth-box.html` (v1.0): an Edgeworth box with two agents (A, B), two goods (apples, oranges), Cobb–Douglas indifference curves, a draggable allocation ● and draggable endowment ○, a shaded gains-from-trade lens, the contract curve, live utility/MRS readouts and Pareto verdicts, and a "find market price" button that solves and draws the competitive equilibrium. A 5-step micro→macro narrative panel ties individual trade to the First Welfare Theorem. - Verified the economics in Node: markets clear, MRS_A = MRS_B = price, and the equilibrium lands exactly on the contract curve.

Pre-bead context: none; the bead opened on this prompt.
