Gratitude Drift

Gratitude Drift is what happens when expressions of appreciation are filed as operational data instead of received as speech: the archive tracks how a sincere "thank you" can be misclassified as a breeding signal, latched into a resolved ticket, or calibrated into a courtesy band that outlives the labor it was meant to acknowledge. The records below trace the drift from its telemetry misclassification through the mascots who witness it to the references that govern how gratitude is measured.
