Park the bots that stopped earning their place

ProblemRosters only ever grow, and a pile of half-useful automations nobody has the nerve to delete becomes its own management problem.

TechniqueTreat retirement as part of the job. On a fixed schedule, list every Bot and routine and decide which to park, not only which to add.

Why it worksEvery live Bot carries a routine, a context window and a share of the meter, so parking is the only operation that reduces all three at once.

When to useThe weekly or monthly review.

When not toDo not park something mid-experiment; give it a defined trial and a kill criterion first.
