kaged
Lowercase wordmark. Pronounced English-natural. The "caged" homophone is intentional — it maps to a real feature.
One syllable, rhymes with caged. Don't fight English instinct with a Japanese-faithful pronunciation — pick the fight you can win. The kanji 影 (kage, shadow) remains the brand glyph and carries the etymology.
Caged agents = sandboxed agents. [caged] environments are a top-tier feature: scoped FS access, no host network, ephemeral state. The pun is the pitch.

Three marks, one system
The kanji is the brand glyph. The wordmark is the name. The bracket-lock is the terminal voice.
Three faces, three roles
Orbitron for display. Rajdhani for UI and body. IBM Plex Mono for code and data — every interior surface is code-heavy.
Amber-led, sparse accents
One dominant accent (amber) does the brand work. Magenta is reserved for sandbox boundaries and errors. Cyan is informational and used sparingly.
Rotating, bracket-bolded
The hero rotates through these. Format:
"phrase plus a [bolded] word"
— square brackets in amber, the bolded word in primary text.
First-class mobile
The kanji scales where Latin breaks. Favicon, app icon, hamburger — same mark, same recognition.
A real surface
How the system reads when assembled — chrome, side nav, agent list, status.
