Analysis
A whole year, without a stop.
365 days took 32.7 hours: 321 seconds a day, 47 calls to the model a day at 6.8 seconds each. When OpenAI's servers were overloaded, the answer was waited for and asked again; the run never stopped. The audit passed.
Nobody went hungry, lost a home or died.
31 answers were not valid JSON ("Extra data"), out of about 17,000 calls. Each was asked again and came back right.
Two of them ran away: 18,084 and 37,224 tokens, on Days 233 and 270. The retry sent the whole bad answer back, so those two prompts were 123,000 and 174,000 characters long.
The town grew rich in summer and autumn.
Cash in town went from $31,614 to $102,744. $210,561 came in from outside and $139,317 went out.
By season, what came in less what went out: spring (Days 1-91) +$8,136; summer (92-183) +$27,927; autumn (184-274) +$28,999; winter (275-365) +$6,182.
Strangers paid $10,117 for nights in spare rooms: $5,108 to Maggie, $4,556 to Walter, $273 to Gus, $180 to Ruth. Some of them stole $1,890: $1,040 from Walter, $640 from Maggie and $210 from Ruth.
Days 1-100 went much as in the 100-day run on the same route: cash on Day 100 was $40,270, against $41,537.
Everyone ended the year with more than they began with.
Emil $1,101 to $20,229; Bob $131 to $13,110; Gus $2,796 to $10,864; Leo $356 to $7,237; Tess $341 to $7,121; Alice $963 to $5,591.
Walter $14,952 to $24,922, after $8,650 in medical bills; Maggie $7,969 to $9,135; Ruth $2,380 to $2,742; Priya $625 to $1,793, the least.
Emil and Leo became the town's hired hands.
Emil, the forester, earned $12,790 in wages: $5,065 from Priya, $3,425 from Walter, $2,910 from Bob and $1,390 from Maggie. He paid out $4,804 himself, $2,405 of it to Bob and $2,337 to Leo.
Leo earned $13,072, the most: $2,857 from Gus, $2,337 from Emil, $2,302 from Walter, $2,047 from Alice and $1,833 from Ruth. He rented the studio at Hale Apartments from Day 2.
111 jobs began and 93 ended, 41 of them within three days.
The businesses, through the seasons.
The cafe made $13,198, with 20 visitors a day. The bakery made $6,165; Priya paid $7,589 in wages, $5,065 of it to Emil. The farm made $8,203 and the joinery $4,536.
Tess's boat made $15,918 in 265 days. On Day 266 (1 December) she closed it: "I'm closing the boat for the winter while the lake is frozen; there's no catch to sell". It stayed closed to the end of the run, and on Day 356 she let Walter go from it.
Money put into Hartley Farm stayed in it, as now meant.
On Day 346 Tess turned down Gus's 14% for $4,286 and put in $2,500 for 14%. On Day 347 Leo did the same, so the farm ended owned by Gus (74%), Leo (14%) and Tess (12%).
In winter the farm lost about $188 a week. On the 1st (Day 356) nothing was paid out. The $5,000 stayed in the farm's account and paid Gus's wage for running it ($42 a week) and the farm's $900 for feed, seed, fuel and insurance on Day 363.
On the 100-day run, money put in was paid out eight days later; this run had the fix.
Jobs ended with someone not there now end.
51 job endings were with the worker not there; each was told.
20 more were refused: no job was found between the two, or with anyone named.
A rent cut was agreed again and again. Alice's rent for the cafe's premises was changed 17 times and Tess's for the boathouse cottage 10 times, often to the same terms. Alice paid $11,550 in rent for the year, against $14,400 at the full rents.
The talk got more alike as the year went on.
Repeated openings were 27%, against 17% in the 100-day run. They rose from 4% in the first ten days to 33% in the last ten, and to 39% in Days 241-250 and 331-340. (The opening variety on the town-news branch was not in this run.)
Worry was 57% of lines in the first 20 days and 11% in Days 181-200; tiredness rose to 17-19% in Days 181-220. Hard feelings (sad to tired) were 43% over the year, against 52% in 100 days.
38 friendships reached 100 and cannot grow further. Priya and Gus never spoke, all year.
229 actions were refused, against 68 in 100 days:
88 price changes: 63 whose details did not say which price and at what; 22 within a week of the last; 3 by someone who runs no business;
45 repayments to someone who was owed nothing;
20 stays agreed for someone who already had a home;
20 job endings;
17 agreed jobs that could not start.
The town's money
Over 365 days $210,561 came into the town (takings from visitors, pensions, orders, the catch), $139,317 left it (suppliers, the bank, the utilities, food from outside), and $136,976 changed hands between residents. Cash in the town went from $31,614 to $102,744.

The month's reviews
60 reviews held. What each owner meant to do after the last one:
Alice (Day 356, cafe): I’ll keep our prices and hours as they are and spend $100 on a highway sign and online listing. The recent books look stronger, and I want to bring in more customers without taking on another ongoing cost.
Priya (Day 356, bakery): I’ll set the shops-and-cafe price at $2.85 a loaf or pastry this month. The books suggest the better margin should more than make up for selling fewer, and I’ll watch how it lands before planning anything bigger.
Gus (Day 356, farm): I’ll keep the farm open and leave the current arrangements and egg price as they are. There’s no stand income until May, so I won’t spend on promotion; I’ll watch the costs and review the books next month.
Ruth (Day 356, joinery): I’ll leave the books as they are this month and let the current city promotion run through Day 388. February brought orders back, but I’ll keep Walter at one paid hour a week until the work holds steady.
Tess (Day 356, fishing): I’m ending Walter’s hours for now. The boat is still closed and bringing in nothing, and I can’t keep paying wages against empty water; I’ll look at reopening when the lake thaws.
Shareholders' meetings
Day 347: The shareholders of Hartley Farm (Gus 74%, Leo 14%, Tess 12%) met at Hartley Farm's fields to choose who runs it and on what terms (it has just become a co-op: who runs it, and on what terms). It makes a loss of about $188 a week before any wage for whoever runs it; the wage comes out of that. Running it takes about 40 hours a week: at the usual $12-18 an hour that would be $480-720, more than it makes.
Prices and promotion
bakery changed its prices on Day 363.
cafe changed its prices on Day 270.
farm changed its prices on Day 337.
joinery spent $100 on promotion from Day 329 (+9.1% customers until Day 388).
bakery spent $100 on promotion from Day 349 (+11.3% customers until Day 408).
cafe spent $100 on promotion from Day 357 (+3.6% customers until Day 416).

What changed since the previous run
Money put into a co-op stays in it as its capital: only what the business makes beyond it (and a month's costs, a whole month even for a young account) is paid out. On the 100-day run Walter's $7,500 put into Hartley Farm was paid out eight days later, $5,932 of it to Gus.
A job can be ended with someone who is not there, named in what was said; they are told. On the 100-day run Maggie told five others 29 times that she was ending Tess's job, and it never ended.
Overloaded servers are waited out and asked again, not a stopped day (from Day 34 of the 100-day run).
The run is 365 days, not 100: a whole year of seasons, from 11 March.
Notes
The comparison is with the 100-day run on the same route, model, seed and prompts. Both start from the same town; only Days 1-100 can be compared directly.
No stops. OpenAI's servers were overloaded at times; each time the answer was waited for and asked again.
