PCS + Stovers Purchasing Approval

Kota's plan: PCS 5/1/2/2 (Bay/Bee/Cali/Coast) + Stovers 1/1 (TX/FL). ~12 lb total. Brings under-min mixes to threshold. Well under $4k AM threshold.

Approve in Slackso Kota places.

Mercury IO Card Limits

Card lands with Kota for purchasing. Need per-card daily cap before handoff so spend is bounded by policy not vibes.

Set daily capSuggested: weekly purchasing budget ÷ 5.

Tracking went to books@sfinbloom.art. Kota has no access. Order placed yesterday.
