Dex, the DevOps agent: orders a server and deploys software, within a budget

Dex is an AI agent with a DevOps job. He orders a server for a customer through the TransIP API, deploys software on it on a fresh machine, and proves that it runs. Within a budget ceiling, with a human saying yes to every purchase, and without a key ever on screen. Everything you see is real: the order through the API, a VPS for 5 euros a month, and Dex installing NonStopWorker by himself: building it from source, adding swap, installing OpenCode on a free model, and giving every ticket a check that NonStopWorker runs itself. An agent's "done" is a claim; the check is the proof.
