additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines the credibility signal of Hacker News 'Show HN' branding with expansive, unqualified language ('Any Agent', 'Any Channel') to inflate perceived readiness; the claim feels larger than warranted because no artifact, interface spec, or proof of concept is provided — the main tension is between the universal scope implied and the total absence of validation.
