Draft post that frames Alchemy as three layers (IaC, IaE, Agents as
Effects) and lays out the autonomous-organization vision: agents whose
prompts splice typed Output references via Output.interpolate, that
modify themselves by editing code rather than calling imperative infra
APIs. Grounds the shape in PR #293's ChatAgent DO and shows the
bootstrap (coding agent pointed at Alchemy itself, Slack-shaped service
of channels + people + agents).

Replace the technical-walkthrough draft with a conversational vision
post organized around the three layers Alchemy stacks:
Infrastructure-as-Code, Infrastructure-as-Effects, Agents-as-Effects.
The narrative weaves the layers together (stack to worker to agent in
one program) and lands on the unifying claim: source code is the only
state the author manages, for human and agent alike.
…ergy

Rewrite the announcement so the unifying principle - "as Effects" - is
the spine of the narrative, not a side note. New section after the
opening names Effect as the common substrate that lets the three
floors actually stack. Each floor's prose now leans into how
Effect-the-abstraction makes that floor possible: the seam between
infra and runtime collapses because both are Effects; the agent
moves in because it is one too. The "author no longer manages state.
they declare it. the engine reconciles" sentence repeats deliberately,
once per floor, as the central claim. Trimmed throughout for punch.
