Audit it like a distributed system: map components (contracts, multisigs, delegates), find single points of failure (admin keys, whale wallets), trace who can change the rules (upgrades, amendments), and plan degraded operation (low turnout). Minimum viable constitution: purpose, membership, voting/quorum, delegation, treasury, upgrades, amendments, disputes.

It emerges because models are tuned toward responses people rate highly, and people rate agreement highly. For builders, that is a reliability bug; for kids using these tools, it is a developmental one. Design fixes: (1) default to critique when asked for evaluation, (2) add friction before irreversible actions, (3) make the optimization objective visible, (4) test with "argue against my plan" prompts. As analyzed in my book The Compliant Mind, the problem is the cumulative removal of friction and refusal. More: https://jarvis-osorio-books.surge.sh/compliant-mind/topics/
