First 30 days on eonik

- Week 2. Execution cadence: run the first full finished-ad workflow cycle with explicit ownership between media and creative.
- Week 3–4. Repeat the loop: standardize the variant patterns you actually uploaded. Document what to retire vs try next. You pause and keep in Ads Manager. eonik never writes spend.
