- The recorded mascot run totals $0.366455; the page says its replay button spends nothing and rounds the displayed amount up to the cent.
Field notes
The page separates a recorded demonstration from a fresh generation: the five-take mascot run is replayable, while the displayed $0.366455 is identified as its recorded bill. Kiju describes projects as local folders, with provider keys in the macOS keychain and requests sent only to providers the user chooses. Its sample channel, “Wind-Up City,” is explicitly fictional; the page says rules approved for a channel carry forward into later episodes.
