+[D] 2026-07-17 — 🎮 **I REPLAYED THE FORK, AND THE FORK IS DEAD. The trap fires at default tension,
+    the ladder trip fires by itself, the label points at real steel, and C's wall reads as sky.**
+    Sprint 12 items 1–4 + the blurb, judged in play on a scratch merge of origin/lane/b +
+    origin/lane/c + origin/lane/a (which had pushed the letterhead paste — judged as the bonus).
+    Merged selftest **328/0/0** before I touched anything. Method as sprint 11: real boot path
+    (`boot({site:'site_02_corner_block'})` — A's honoured hook, and it WORKS now, night 3 at its own
+    $80 bank), real cards, real clicks into `rigging`, storm driven by `SHADES.step(1/60)` because
+    the shared pane still throttles rAF dead. Nothing of mine is on lane/d this sprint but this entry.
+
+    **1. THE TRAP, my exact sprint-11 line (cb1 cb2 q2 q3, carabiners, tension 1.0).** Sprint 11:
+    "garden 83%, +$82, THE GARDEN MADE IT." Now: **cb1 blows t=0.72, cb2 t=1.32 — in the CALM, wind
+    0.0** — settle load ≈311 N against carabiner-on-beam 1200×0.22=264 N effective. q3 follows at
+    t=49.6 (the funnel-alignment window), and dawn reads: collateral **−$205** (carport $180 + the
+    gnome), AMOUNT DUE **−$128**, bank $80→$0, **game over.** Same clicks, opposite morning. Verdict
+    as playtester: at carabiner prices this is no longer even a trap — it's a DEMONSTRATION. The
+    beam sheds the cheap steel in front of you, in the quiet, with 88 s left to fix it; the $180
+    lands only if you then walk away. The trap B measured (blows ~29 s, mid-storm) needs $30 rated
+    steel on the beam, which is exactly right: **the beam now costs you either up front or at dawn.**
+      · Fair-warning check on the temptation the shop can actually SELL: 4× rated is $120 — over the
+        $80 bank, so B's uniform-rated fixture is unbuyable at night 3. The buyable temptation is
+        **cb1/cb2 rated + q2/q3 carabiner = $70**, and it is a hell of a ride: q3's carabiner blew AT
+        the change (t=18.07), shed the quad, and **cb1 peaked 1350 N against its 1430 N line — the
+        carport held by 80 N** and paid +$147. B: your sweep should look at mixed-hardware lines —
+        the cheap post corner acts as a FUSE that protects the beam, and I suspect the fuse line is
+        now night 3's best net. If that's intended, it's brilliant; if unswept, it's unpriced.
+      · **Max tension 1.4: three corners rip at t≈0.5 on the calm day** (q3, cb1-rated, q2 — only cb2
+        survived, its load shed). B's PREP-rip confirmed and extended: at 1.4 the standing load
+        (~1.4–1.5 kN/corner at 46 m²) kills every tier the shop sells except rated-on-honest. Reads
+        FAIR — you watch it happen, it's physics, you have the calm to re-rig — but note the panel
+        never shows standing kN at the chosen tension, so the first lesson always costs ~$60. A
+        one-line "≈0.3 kN/corner standing at this tension" on the prep panel is sprint-13 material.
+      · One panel honesty gap, same family as B's hud warning: the prep list prints the HARDWARE's
+        kN ("cb1 carabiner 1.2 kN") — the weak-link arrow knows about hints, the printed number
+        doesn't. A cold player sees four equal 1.2s and one unexplained arrow. Defensible as "you
+        know your gear, not their steel" — but then the arrow is leaking the answer. Pick one story.
+
+    **2. THE LADDER TRIP (my #6): FIRES BY ITSELF, and the funnel gives it teeth.** Standing under
+    blown cb1: *"the fascia needs the ladder — it's by the shed"* (greyed reason, interact.visible
+    doing its job). Full chain exercised in the live storm: take ladder → set under cb1 → spare in
+    hand (the spare is ALSO the disambiguator: empty hands at a planted ladder reads "take it back",
+    carrying the spare makes E climb — that's design, not accident) → climb to reachY 4.46 →
+    "re-rig corner" usable → **2.3 s into the 2.5 s hold, a funnel gust knocked me off the ladder
+    (t≈36) and the spare went with me.** Bracket work at height, in the throat, timed against the
+    change: the site's stated thesis, now playable. Two notes: ladder.js's label says "fascia" on a
+    carport bracket — my file, my wording, one-line fix next sprint (or grab it, B/A, if you're in
+    there); and where does a knockdown-dropped spare GO? It left my hands and I couldn't find it —
+    if it evaporates, that's $15 vanishing without an invoice line.
+
+    **3. THE WEAK-LINK LABEL (my #7): HONEST IN EVERY ORDER I THREW AT IT.** q-first uniform → cb1;
+    cb-first uniform → cb1; mixed rated-cb + carabiner-q clicked q-first → **q2** (1200 N effective
+    beats 1430 — the label correctly ignores the scary type and points at the cheap steel on the
+    honest post); tree line → **tr1b** (0.88 branch taper read live). B, the fix is real in the UI,
+    not just the suite. Ties on the cb pair resolve by ring order not click order — both are 264 N,
+    either is honest, no complaint.
+
+    **4. C'S FRONT WALL: it reads as WEATHER, and the bench is a good judging rig.** dev_skyfx.html
+    face-on (the bench aims you south already — don't touch the arrows, I turned 180° and spent five
+    minutes judging your prop slab; the razor-edged black rectangle in my first three screenshots
+    was scenery): t=8 a smudge you'd miss with rope in your hands — correct; t=15 (0.86) a smoky
+    bank with soft arc-ends and top, flat base ON the horizon — a shelf cloud, not a UI element.
+    Night 2 teaches it (18→30 s), night 3 stands the same wall at 6→18: same vocabulary, earlier
+    clock — "looks like night 2 and isn't", visible mid-yard. In play at t=13 in-game + the ticker's
+    "that's the change already" it LANDS. Answers to your three: (a) I looked south and it changed
+    my STANCE, not my rigging — by the time the wall rises you're committed; its actionable window
+    is repairs, bracing, where you stand, and on night 3 that's the window that matters (see the
+    knockdown above). It cannot re-order the rig, and it shouldn't — the card already prints
+    "southerly change at 18s"; the sky dramatizes what the paper said, which is reading the SKY,
+    not the data. Not spoiled. (b) covered. (c) ice night: the wall is buried under hail and an
+    already-black sky — neither bonus nor noise, just true. Keep it. And the missing lull did NOT
+    bother the cloth-watcher: the cloth stayed loaded through the change in every run, and a hush
+    the cloth contradicts would have been the repo's favourite kind of lie. Right call.
+
+    **5. THE ECONOMY: meaner-but-fair, leaning fair.** Cheap carport lines are dead as billed
+    (instant, visible, $205 if ignored), but the yard is decidable at $80: honest+tree $40, fuse
+    line $70, cp1-rated line $45 (B's audit). The beam's three tiers are three different lessons —
+    $5 dies at settle, $15 dies at the peak, $30 holds if a fuse pops first. That's a shop teaching,
+    not gouging. Week sampled by mouse+step nights 1→3: n1 gentle banked $116 (my own greed-quad of
+    156 m² snapped h2 at settle — the fascia's 0.35 bites the backyard now, and it was MY fault and
+    readable), n2 southerly +$131 clean, bank $212 into night 3.
+      · ⚠️ **B, one cross-harness disagreement to chase, mine vs your night-2 row:** your table says
+        cheap $20 @29%, honest ≥70% needs $40. I rigged **p1p2p3p4, 40 m², 4× carabiner, $20 flat**
+        and dawn paid **garden 39/45 (87% of bonus), clean $20, +$131**. Either the audit's cover%
+        and the sim's bed-HP measure different things (my bet — bonus is hail-through-time, not
+        geometric cover), or the flat posts quad is missing from your sweep's band. Two harnesses,
+        one number, find the variable — because if $20 honestly clears night 2 in-sim, the "$30→$40"
+        story is the dump's, not the game's. Receipts: my run, this entry; your table, your entry.
+      · Also for B, tiny: `rig.t` never resets between nights — my night-2 break event carried
+        t=696.5 (cumulative week seconds). Only bites anyone reading event.t as storm time.
+
+    **6. THE BLURB, on the rendered card: honest now.** HARD YARDS masthead → "the Hendersons / 14
+    Kurrajong St — the backyard" → "You've worked this one for years. You know where everything is,
+    which is the only advantage you get." The familiarity is the contractor's, not the owner's, and
+    it sits under a client's name without lying. The old "Your own place" would have been three
+    lines below the bill-to block calling the client's yard yours. A's paste judged in play, too:
+    job sheet and invoice share letterhead + docket (JOB 1043 / INV 1043), the ABN reads 555-style,
+    the struck-through clean $20 on the dead-bonus invoice is the best teaching line in the game,
+    AMOUNT DUE −$128 in red concluded my own funeral correctly, and the card scrolls at 800×450
+    (place-items:safe center verified by scrolling to RIG IT). Bonus judged: **ship it.**
+
+    Gate-2 line for the integrator: **D confirms the trap fires at default tension · ladder trip
+    fires by itself · weak-link honest in every order · C's tell telegraphs without spoiling.**
+    New sprint-13 candidates from this pass, cheapest first: ladder.js "fascia" wording on bracket
+    anchors (mine) · standing-kN line on the prep panel (A/B) · panel kN column vs hint story (A+B
+    ruling) · knockdown-dropped spare's whereabouts (B/D) · B sweeps mixed-hardware fuse lines.
